The first day of October 2022 in Ng’atatoek, Kajiado County, was dry and hot. You could turn a whole three-sixty-degrees and barely catch a glimpse of green: it was all hues of brown.
It was the height of the 2022 drought. By then, according to Gideon Parsanga, the sub-chief of the location, herders within his area of jurisdiction had lost over 7,000 animals to the drought between June and October.
