    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think as the incoming Senator of the county where the Petition has come from by my good friend the Governor of Nandi, Governor Sang, I would also be interested although I was following this matter before I was even elected. Most of these Talai people live in Chesumei Sub County. The President came a few weeks ago to visit the mausoleum of Koitalel arap Samoei whose remains were returned in the year 2002. We still have a lot of issues to raise with the British over that matter. I would also want to see the conclusion of this matter so that as a county we can move forward and ensure that these people are compensated and also look at other historical injustices. This is because most of them were moved from their original lands and later made squatters. As the Senator of the concerned county, I would be very keen and request the Committee that we give them the necessary support and directions when called upon, to ensure the matter is dealt with expeditiously so that the great people of Talai get an opportunity to have their issues addressed. The Government has established a centre in remembrance of Koitalel Samoei and his clan. Most of the Talai are also in Kericho County. I support and hope to see expeditious conclusion of this issue so that our people can get the justice that they have desired for so many years. I support."
