The foot and mouth disease outbreak was first reported in Wamba Division in Samburu East on 19th November, 2008. On 24th November, 2008, samples were collected and taken to Embakasi Foot and Mouth Disease Laboratory for analysis. It was confirmed that the disease was foot and mouth type "O". After the confirmation, a quarantine was imposed on that area by the Department of Veterinary Services.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to state very, very clearly here that Kenya Veterinary Vaccine Production Institute (KEVEVAPI), which is owned by the Kenyan Government and is located in Embakasi, produces about 13 different vaccines.

11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly:
But, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have different types of viral strains of that disease. It took the technicians and the researchers at the Veterinary Department some time to establish the type of strain found in the Samburu, Laikipia and Isiolo ecosystem. I want to say it here that it has been confirmed that it is type "O". I also want to assure the hon. Member that, as we speak now, a major vaccination exercise against the disease is going on in Wamba Division of Samburu East District.
