Mzee Ole Puruo has been trying to sell his few remaining cows at the Kiserian market in Kajiado County, the ongoing drought having wiped off most of his herd.
Earlier, he watched his cow that had just died being moved to the slaughterhouse.
He is not alone. Most members of the Imparbali Oo Nkineji (place for watering goats) community in Kiserian, are grappling with this change of fortunes. Most households in this village have lost their livestock to the biting drought. The few remaining cattle have depreciated in market value, with cows selling for as low as Sh500, while goats and sheep go for as low as Sh100.
