The raid was conducted by a joint task force made up of the Kenya Wildlife Service, the Kenya Bureau of Standards and the Kenya Revenue of Authority.
Authorities said a considerable amount of meat confiscated from the house was from dogs and other wild animals. Public health officials will also be assisting in the investigations.
Police were tipped off by locals, who said they called authorities after they detected an awful smell from the house.
