    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, I have seen this Petition from the Kipsigis Clans Organization. This is a very critical Petition, considering that in Nandi County, we also have similar problems of historical land injustices. This House adopted a report on historical land injustices for the Talai, as we stretch from Kericho County, where my good friend Sen. Cheruiyot is Senator, all the way to Nandi. The issue of historical land injustices does not only affect the Kipsigis and Nandi communities, but it cuts across the country. This issue is very important. Following the adoption of the report on historical land injustices, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Dullo, with the former Senator of Nandi visited the Talai community. The report was adopted by the committee. Up to now, the recommendations of the Senate that were unanimously adopted by the House have not been acted upon by various agencies such as the National Land Commission (NLC) and the office of the Attorney- General. The request of the Senate was to assist the Talai community pursue justice in London and to also receive an apology from the British. Up to now, the relevant stakeholders who were directed by the Senate---. I hope that by the time my Committee will have concluded this matter and because of its wisdom, the House will adopt the report on the historical land injustices on the Kipsigis, and thereafter, pronounce itself on how to follow up on this. This is because we have the Mau Mau case where those affected received compensation. I expected the national Government, through the Attorney-General’s office, in liaison with the British High Commission and with the British Government, to try and conclude this issue. This is because if the issue of historical land injustices on the Talai is addressed appropriately, the percentage of many cases of historical land injustice which have been forwarded by the Kipsigis Clans Organization in Bomet and Kericho counties will be addressed adequately. Mr. Speaker Sir, it is well that Senators adopted the report on the issue of historical land injustices relating to the Talai community. However, those issues have not been followed up by the relevant stakeholders. Therefore, as we look into this Petition by the Kipsigis on the issue of historical land injustices and by various multinational companies in Kericho, Nandi and Bomet counties, the Senate should have a mechanism of ensuring that directions that are issued by the Senate are followed to conclusion."
