A Sh40 million chicken slaughterhouse was commissioned on Tuesday by Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka at Chwele area in Kabuchai constituency, Bungoma Central. Lusaka said the slaughterhouse will employ more than 700 people. The governor said the abattoir will be run by Kuku Bora Chicken Dealers who operate and distribute chicken countrywide. He said the county has pumped in Sh25 million while the national government contributed Sh15 million to acquire land and expand the slaughterhouse. “This project is of international standards and we will use the right equipment and procedures to prevent any contamination,” Lusaka said.
