The month of January, 2024, recorded above average rainfall. The previous year, the Kenya Meteorological Department had forecast El Nino beginning October the same year.

The showers came down in Kanguku village, Murang’a County, like a blessing from heaven. It watered a strip of Napier grass at Christopher Ngugi’s small scale farm turning them lush green; succulent food that boosts a dairy cow’s milk production. “Every now and then we feed them the grass,” Ngugi explained as he gave us a quick tour.
