I took this road (second half on a truck after falling off) about 6 weeks ago, just after the Marsabit killings. The road is very poor - sand, corrugations, mud if its raining etc etc - until Garissa where iit's tarmac to Nairobi. But prob no worse than Marsabit road - just longer. Stayed in Buna, Wajir, Habaswein and Garissa. All very friendly. See Chief Osman in Buna for accomodation. I saw no bandits! That doesn't mean there aren't any...
