BEHIND THE CHEAP KIRUHURA MEAT BEING SOLD IN KASESE.
Early this week, we learnt with utter shock about the cheap meat being sold in some rural areas of Kasese district and it is reportedly being ferried from Kiruhura and other districts of the Ankole subregion.
The said meat is reportedly sold so cheaply that a kilogram goes for as low as 4000shs.
Of course with the current economy, it is with no doubt that most of our people must have seen this as a heavenly sent blessing and without doubt, the traders of this meat are in business.
But before calling this a blessing, you need to know that every kiss is not a sign of love and if you doubt this, ask Jesus.
Therefore you need to question yourselves a few questions.
Do the people of Kiruhura also eat this meat?
If yes, for how long and if no then why?
Why is it so cheap?
How do they maintain it fresh from Kiruhura to the villages of kasese, a distance of about 200km yet it is on black market?
In the first place, you need to understand that culturally the Bahiima value their cows that they will not want to have any of their products wasted.
So because of this value attached, when a calf dies at birth or a few months after birth, it is never thrown.
It's well butchered and consumed as meat and some of them still have such a practice and it is without doubt that such could be the type of meat being sold.
Secondly because of the too much value attached to their cows, some of them keep their cows until they reach a stage of dying naturally due to advanced age or die with other animal diseases such as brucellosis, anthrax, foot and mouth disease, etc and therefore such meat must be the one being sold to our poor people.
The danger with such meat is that both the disease and the drugs used in their treatment are all dangerous to human life.
Some animal diseases such as brucellosis a bacterial infection caused by Brucella arbotus are transmissible from animals or animal products to man and they are lethal in humans.
It is also important that veterinary doctors advise against consumption of both meat and milk from animals that have been given some drugs used in the treatment of these diseases in the immediate fourteen days after treatment.
It is also with no doubt that if you critically observe the meat in question, the sellers must be using formaldehyde commonly known as formalin in preserving it.
Formalin is a dangerous chemical usually used in hospitals in the treatment of cadavers (dead bodies).
It is also used in histopathology laboratories to fix biopsies used in examination of cell structures.
The danger with this chemical is that it's single consumption exposes one to more than 70% chances of developing cancer within the next ten years according to medical experts.
Meat preserved with this chemical does not attract flies and tends to be a bit smooth. This is the case with this Kasese meat.
Whereas there was an outcry of using this same chemical in some butcheries around Kampala, it still beats logic on how the public is accessing such a dangerous chemical because government does not even supply it to most health center II and IIIs and it is only allowed in health facilities with mortuaries and histopathology laboratories and it is always sold with a lot of strictness to private health institutions.
So the million dollar question is that how is it becoming so common in the general public?
Otherwise the Dream Team is at loss with some opportunists who are destroying our already wounded community and we call upon all authorities to swiftly act upon this vice and ensure it is weeded out with immediate effect.
