  "summary": "Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has mocked President William Ruto over his proposal to introduce buffalo milk production in Kenya, questioning why the government would consider bringing buffaloes from India while consumers face milk shortages. Gachagua appeared to question the logic behind importing the animals at a time when Kenyans are struggling to find milk in some supermarkets. He ridiculed the proposal, suggesting the government was turning to buffaloes instead of addressing challenges facing the country’s dairy sector.",
