Under Kibochi, KDF engages more in civilian duties

Under Kibochi, KDF engages more in civilian duties
Nyambega Gisesa
At the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), machines that are as old as the country’s independence are back in shape as the facility roars to full operational capacity, the first time in several decades. And for the first time, the agency, which only made a profit shortly after it was set up sometime in the 1950s, is hoping to bury its long streak of losses. In the coming weeks, President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to share the meat processor’s extraordinary story of revival, which became possible after its operations were handed over to the Kenya Defence Forces last year. The handover was as shocking as when the government – a few weeks before – announced that all government-owned aircraft would be under the military.

In a speech during the opening, Kenyatta said the factory was built for KES4 billion (USD37.5 million) and can produce 12,000 assault rifles a year, with 60% of the components being locally manufactured.

The output of this more than $37 million investment will mainly be used to equip the local security forces, helping them to better fight the growing security threat in the country.
With this investment, Kenya could in the long run become a gun exporter. Nairobi seeks, through this strategy, to reduce the costs of acquiring weapons on external markets.
