Kenya has launched a Sh40 million insect quarantine facility hosted at the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (Kefri).
The research facility, the first in East and Central Africa and the second in Africa after South Africa, is a milestone for researchers.
The centre will help Kenya manage and control insects from other countries that come through border points.
