    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in supporting this report. I believe I am one of the Senators who went to visit the Talai community with the then Sen. Sang, who is the Governor for Nandi County. With us were also Sen. Amos Wako and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., if I am not wrong. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this community is living in abject poverty in Nandi County. When we went there, it was actually like they were liberated on that day, because they had never seen anything like that. Their children are not going to school and they are even called wizards. It is a big violation that in Kenya today, where we have the new Constitution and so many other legislations, a whole community is regarded as an outcast. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what Gov. Sang is doing can be imitated by so many counties that have gone through such problems, especially where I come from. During Independence some of them were chased out of Kenya and went to Somalia. Up to date they are living in utter poverty in Somalia which they have now regarded as their country. Some of them returned to Kenya but were unable to access identification cards ten years down the line. I will emulate what Governor Sang has done by bringing a petition against the Government of Kenya after Independence and also the British Government. This is because people were killed and unfairly exiled from Kenya. With this, the Talai community will be liberated and be able to live in Nandi County. Under the leadership of Governor Sang, I am sure their interests will be protected. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
