What was intended to be a joyful occasion, the annual
Kimalel Goat Auction in Baringo last December, attended by President William Ruto, showcased support for the backbone of the hustler nation the farmer. With great fanfare, goats were sold in a sale reportedly valued at an impressive Sh82 million. However, months later, the celebration has faded, leaving many farmers feeling disheartened.
A rising number of livestock keepers from various wards across the county are now speaking out, asserting that they have not received a single shilling for the animals they supplied as part of official agreements. Their claims are pointed and specific: they accuse the
Baringo County Government of selective payments, leaving many in financial distress.
