The national government will buy emaciated livestock from parts of Baringo County to insulate farmers against possible losses as drought ravages the area.
Speaking in Kabarnet town at the launch of the programme on Monday, Water Principal Secretary Fred Segor said the initiative aims to buy about 100,000 livestock from areas worst hit by water and pasture scarcity including Tiaty and Baringo North sub-counties.
