The union termed Wajackoyah's proposal a 'recipe for another pandemic' owing to the spillover of viruses, bacteria, and parasites from hyenas and snakes in the wild to human beings.
“As you may be aware, COVID- 19 originated in Wuhan market in China as a result of trade in wildlife products. Kenyans should be prepared for a surge in zoonotic diseases such as rabies, brucellosis, leptospirosis. and yersiniosis among others should trade in hyena and snake products be legalized under Wajackoyah’s government."
Dr. Mulembani advised Wajackoyah to consult closely with the Veterinary Professionals before making proposals that may 'jeopardize the existence of our wild animals.'
The statement comes days after the Roots party presidential candidate promised to export Hyena meat and hyena testicles to China if elected president, as another way of creating employment and creating more money for the country.
Wajackoyah said this during his manifesto launch at the Kenyatta International Conventional Center, much to the delight of those in attendance.
