Technology is being used to help safeguard donkeys from theft in Kisumu and Siaya counties in Kenya, according to People Daily. The outlet reported on the development on Saturday, 17 October 2026.
The report frames the effort around protecting the animals from being stolen, though further details of the tools involved were not included in the available summary.
The two counties sit in western Kenya, and the reporting presents the use of technology as a protective measure for donkey owners in the region.
People Daily's coverage does not, in the material available, specify which technologies are in use, who is operating them, or how widely they have been deployed. Those specifics would be needed to assess how the approach works in practice.
What to watch next: whether People Daily publishes fuller details on the systems being used and whether similar measures are extended to other areas.
