New CRA formula will hurt northern Kenya

I was not around in the period before independence and the decade thereafter, but I can reminiscence a romantic view of our community in Isiolo back then. My late mother told me of good times. Most of our people depended on livestock for livelihood.

But livestock was plenty. She often narrated how in the evenings they poured away hundreds of litres of cow and camel milk simply because everyone in our village had enough.
