Kenya Meat Commission to be relaunched – KBC

The Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) is set to be relaunched Monday after months of refurbishment by the Kenya Defence Forces. 

President Uhuru Kenyatta will preside over the re-opening of the meat processing facility.

Defence Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma had indicated that robust business process systems had been put in place to cater for the needs of livestock farmers as well as the general public. 

KMC was transferred to the Ministry of Defence in September 2020, with the aim of revamping operations and production to ensure the Commission’s survival and profit. 

The new KMC is now expected to respond to the needs of the industry stakeholders, including paying outstanding debts and effecting proactive components of income generation for the exchequer.
