The official cess per chicken at the County markets is ksh.5/- per kilo.Assumed to be one piece.Why would @MikeSonko want to Steal ksh.20/- from each chicken..Or is he targeting the tribal Nationsj indirectly ,”Moi regime style”.

Stop the chickens from upcountry so that the politicians who run chicken businesses in Nairobi can feed the common man! That’s to tell you that if your grandmother competes with the politicians in selling Chicken your grandmother will always loose!

Oh, and how will the authorities know the chicken is from upcountry? Do upcountry chickens exhibit unique characteristics?
