Recently, a visiting dignitary toured a Kieni East sub-county village and to a gathering of the locals, mused: "I was told this region is considered an Asal (arid and semi-arid lands). I am looking around and cannot understand why."

A deceptive cover of green, with the heavily pounding rains resuscitating vegetation, made it like an insult to the real Asals to regard this place as one of them. Land sellers in this, and many other areas, could be taking advantage of the rainy season to make a quick sale.
