Inside Peter Salasya's Mumias farm
The legislator recently announced plans to unseat President William Ruto, and noted that he is also a farmer just like the head of state.
On Wednesday, April 30, Salasya shared a video visiting his farm and offering Kenyans a glimpse of the animals he rears.

In one part of the compound, Salasya built structures to house his animals. The first part showed where he kept tens of birds, including chicken and guinea fowl.
"Here is where the chicks are," the farm manager showed Salasya.
The MP asked about the welfare of the birds and the whereabouts of the eggs.
Salasya then moved away from the chicken pen at the top of a two-story building to the cow pen on the ground via a winding staircase.
The shed had numerous metallic gates to prevent unwanted access.
Salasya’s cowshed was sturdily constructed using concrete, providing the strength needed to support the weight and movement of the animals. It featured an effective drainage system that helped prevent water buildup, reducing the risk of disease and discomfort.
The design also made it easy to clean, promoting hygiene and minimising the spread of infections. Strategically placed gaps in the wooden walls allowed for proper airflow, helping to disperse ammonia and other harmful gases that could affect the cows’ health.
The dairy farm has eight high-yielding cows, and the manager explained that around two cows were expectant.
“This one is Queen; she will deliver in June,” the farmhand said.
He spoke while touching the cow, which moved towards Salasya before nudging him. The MP ran away while laughing.
The manager said that the cow in question did not like visitors.
“It doesn’t know that I’m the owner," Salasya remarked.
Numerous Kenyans urged the MP to employ professionals to run the farm, as others laughed at the gaffe with the cow.
Sanchy Cley Atieno:
“Agriculture is always the best income. I love it. Planting trees, vegetables, and poultry is the best.”
Jack Mistar Mumelo:
“I need to pay a visit to copy notes.”
Kiprotich Tuey:
“Get experts or a professional to be in charge of your farm if you want it to grow. From your brief tour, we have not gotten anything meaningful from you guys.”
Dovico Namukayi Wekesa:
“Our president has been kicked out by his calf.”
Omwamba Omwamba:
“You don't even know what you have. That's not a business.”
