Lain Punta has lost count of the months he has been away from home. He left his wife and children at his Lonyiek home in Ol Moran, Laikipia County, when he went in search of pasture and water for his cattle.
His animals, which he says are as important as his family, have been to many ranches in the county, albeit illegally. Mr Punta says he will do everything to ensure that they survive the drought.
