President Kenyatta has finally delivered a special cow he gifted his Burundi counterpart Evariste Ndayishimiye during his visit to Kenya in May last year.
The Mandela cow was handed to the Burundian government by Kenya’s Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya alongside 50 high-yielding dairy heifers on Thursday.
Munya also delivered other donations that Kenyatta promised to Burundi including 20,000 vaccine doses of Quodivolent against foot and mouth disease; 1.3 metric tons of maize, wheat, and Rhodes grass seeds; 1,000 pieces of tsetse traps; and 4,000 straws of semen.
The donations were received by Burundi’s Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, and Environment Deo Guide Rurema at a function in Bugendana, Gitega Province.
“…Kenya has honored its commitment to assisting Burundi to develop its agriculture, livestock, and co-cooperative sectors. The Mandela cow which His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta handed to his Burundian Counterpart His Excellency President Evariste Ndayishimiye in Kisumu on May 31, 2021 has finally arrived in Burundi together with 50 high-yielding dairy heifers” the Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
During Ndayishimiye’s visit, Kenya and Rwanda signed several agreements aimed at strengthening ties between the two nations.

I really needed a few of those high quality cows to start a small dairy farming business on my 1/8 acre piece of land too.
But since I can’t afford one, I will just have to wait for the Burundi president to give me a calf next year as a thank you token to my president. I know he will give me a calf since he is poor like me.
I really wanted one cow but my president decided to give all the 50 nicely bred cows to his special rich friend!
Oh well, life sucks when you are just a poor Mwananchi!
What does the cow do that other ordinary mwananchi cow doesn't, pee in the toilet? :-)
I hope those nignogs don't eat all the cows
