Governor Kenneth Lusaka has launched the free distribution of over 500 livestock to small-scale farmers in Bungoma, reinforcing his administrationโ€™s commitment to economic empowerment and food security.

The initiative, spearheaded under the County Empowerment Fund (CEF), builds on similar programs introduced during Lusakaโ€™s first term.

While handing over 30 high-quality heifers to 25 farmer groups in Kabula Ward, Bumula,Governor Lusaka underscored the importance of community-driven empowerment programs in strengthening household economies.

โ€œThis occasion marks a significant milestone in our efforts to empower our farmers, strengthen our livestock sector to enhance production, improve livelihoods, and ensure food security for our county,โ€ Lusaka stated.

The governor urged more residents to embrace livestock farming, emphasizing its role in poverty alleviation and economic growth.

โ€œOur commitment as a county government is to support farmers through sustainable livestock programs, capacity building, and access to veterinary services. I encourage our people to embrace this venture to alleviate poverty,โ€ he added.

A total of 236 young dairy heifers, 264 Alpine dairy goats, and Dopper sheep will be distributed across 17 wards in the county.

To ensure sustainability, the distribution will follow a rotational model where heifers will be passed onto other farmers after calving.
