The Roots Party presidential candidate said that if he ascends to power after the August 9 vote, he would introduce snake farming in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, Kenya could cash in on the anti-venom market and thus help offset the current debt owed to China and other lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on the Wednesday of June 8, the politician observed that there exists a lot of snakes in the country. He regretted that Kenya had been depending on other countries to provide anti-venom for them through pharmaceutical cooperation yet the country has many snakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FVYv9KwXoAE2ZA8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FVYv9KwXoAE2ZA8.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FVYv9KwXoAE2ZA8-480x438.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 680px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before embarking on the venture, those interested have been asked to acquire the licence application form for Authority to Operate Wildlife Utilisation Enterprise.Once the application form has been acquired and duly filled, the individual ought to return it to a KWS Licensing\/Regulatory Affairs Office for review before the license is issued.This comes in light of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Snake-Farming-768x384-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8082"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8085,"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8082\/revisions\/8085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.getufm.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
