Famous Kimalel goat auction reopens after a decade

Baringo County will Thursday re-open a goat auction that was famous during retired President Daniel arap Moi’s regime when who-was-who in the public and private sector competed in making the highest bids.

The Kimalel Goat Auction, which started in 1986 but went quiet in 2002 when the former president relinquished power, has been renamed Kimalel Culture Fair and Goat Auction as the county seeks to enhance its tourist offerings.
