MINAGRI intervenes to stop the spread of cattle disease

The government has put in place measures to deal with the outbreak of a lethal livestock disease that has ravaged the Eastern Province. Recently, the province was hit by Contagious Bovine Pleural Pneumonia (CBPP), locally known as Ruhaha. The disease is said to be spreading fast as a result of the movement of cattle from Gabiro Military barracks, a ”disease hotspot” to other areas in the province.
