    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to congratulate Sen. Sang for bringing this weighty matter to the attention of this House. From the petition, some of the Talais were sent to my county and particularly the areas of Gwassi, Lambwe and Mfangano. The intention was to make sure that they died due to theTsetse fly menace. Consequently, it is very difficult, when you go to Gwassi, to find remnants of the Talai. Even if you go Mfangano, they are very few, if indeed they are still there. So, this is a case where there was collective condemnation of an entire community. I do not think an entire community can be guilty of certain sins. I want to also bring into focus the case of the natives of Lake Bogoria who were called the Endorois. In 2010, the African Commission on Human Rights ruled that the Government had an obligation to resettle the Endorois or to restitute or to compensate them because they have been evicted by a post-independence government. They had been evicted by a government of Africans from their land. We could learn some lessons The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
