    "content": "That Kshs1million daily translates to Kshs30million every month and Kshs3.6 billion annually, in just one outlet. Before September 2020, such revenue would have been impossible because slaughtering was limited to few or no animals in a month. To further enhance the profitability of KMC, we have linked it to another ‘dead capital’ that my administration has revived, namely, the metre gauge railway from Nairobi to Nanyuki, which has been revived under the KDF. The KMC is now using it to transport more than 200 animals weekly. Another aspect of KMC re-engineered supply chain is its relationship with the Ewaso Nyiro South Development Authority (ENSDA). This Authority has a tannery and leather factory which the KMC has been supplying with hides and skins. Although the factory is still not yet complete, it has so far produced about 840,000 square feet of finished leather, partly from KMC supplies. Once complete, it is expected to produce about 1.2 million square feet of finished leather per year. Apart from the revival of the KMC and the Nairobi-Nanyuki Railway, the KDF, in partnership with the Kenya Railways Corporation, has revamped the 217-kilometre Nairobi- Kisumu Railway that had been abandoned for two decades. Today, it now boasts of 18 stations, 46 bridges and 27 viaducts. Together with the revival of the Port of Kisumu, revamping this railway line is meant to enhance connectivity with our neighbouring countries that depend on Kenya for the transportation of their imports and exports."
