Agriculture Minister Tumwebaze sets farmer fees and certificate rule for mandatory FMD vaccination

Agriculture Minister Frank Tumwebaze said farmers pay only for vaccine doses under the national Foot-and-Mouth Disease programme, Sh8,000 per cow or pig and Sh4,000 per goat or sheep per cycle, while the government meets other programme costs, according to ChimpReports. He said no livestock may be sold without proof of vaccination, that payment must go through authorised banking and digital channels, and that veterinary officers are barred from collecting cash.
