The Standard e-Paper
Kenya's Bold Newspaper
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key

Every day at Kiamaiko slaughterhouse in Nairobi’s Eastlands hundreds of thousands of shillings change hands as eager buyers snap up either chunky pieces of mutton or live goats.
The live goats are sold for anywhere between Sh3,000 and Sh10,000 depending on size and demand. Thousands of kilometres away at the Dubai cattle market, a 15-kilo goat can fetch prices as high as Sh16,000. A larger goat of 35 kilos, can fetch you a cool Sh55,000. While such high prices are only experienced during high-demand Eid season, meat and live goats fetch higher prices in Dubai than in Kenya.
