Our next guest has met with the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development to discuss the impact of inadequate vaccine supply to combat livestock diseases. This comes after the country has experienced above average rainfall in the past few months. Given the recent outbreak of locusts as a result of this excess rainfall, farmers are concerned about the outbreak of deadly diseases such as Rift Valley fever. These kinds of diseases were transmitted by biting insects, such as mosquitoes, whose populations increased after heavy rainfall
