    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights regarding a public apology by the United Kingdom to the Talai Community of Kenya and compensation for horrendous violations of the rights of the community as ordered by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State whether the Government of Kenya has engaged the United Kingdom (UK) regarding a letter from the UNHRC dated 31st July, 2021, ordering the UK to apologize publicly and compensate the Talai Community of Kenya for abuse and violations of the community’s rights; majority of them are in Nandi County, in a place called Kapsisywa, Sironoi Area. (2) Explain why it has taken too long for the UK to compensate the Talai Communities despite several reports, including one that was adopted by the Senate in 2018, showing there were atrocities committed and human rights violations on the Talai people, thus failing to restore the dignity of the community and their wellbeing. (3) Outline reasons for failure by the UK to establish facts on the victims and the nature of harm and lack of reparations in accordance with international laws. (4) State the status of implementation by the UK, the Kenyan Government and the County Government of Nandi on the recommendations of the report of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights resulting from a Petition to the Senate on injustices against the Talai clan that was passed and adopted by the Senate in 2018."
