Uhuru Kenyatta mourns Kenya’s renowned scientist

The President has described the late as a person who has been on the forefront to better Kenyan's lives.

The President said as a lead scientist in Kenya Agricultural Research & Livestock Organisation KARLO, Dr. Lanyasunya and others ensured that Kenya continued to be in the forefront in dairy and meat products in the East and Central Africa region.

“Having vast experience in livestock research with a focus on livestock production systems and animal nutrition, Dr Lanyasunya was a driving force in the improvement of our livestock sector, having won several competitive research grants and recognition awards. In 2008, President Mwai Kibaki awarded him Order of the Grand Warrior (OGW) for distinguished service to the nation,” said President Kenyatta.
