What you need to know:

  • Masol is considered to be one of the most marginalised regions of Kenya.
  • Kotulupogh has never had a butchery or abattoir since Kenya’s independence.

It is 10am on a Saturday, and the mid-morning sun still feels good on the skin.

In the bushes of Kutulupogh village in Masol ward, chunks of goat meat are dangling from a tree branch, with three men busy cutting them.
