DP Gachagua vows to address land tussle facing Talai community
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has committed to
intervening in various challenges that the Talai Community has been facing
since the pre-colonial period.
The minority group has been pushing for compensation over a
colonial-era land grab, where they accuse the British of collective
punishment and forcefully evicting them off their land, which was turned into
profitable tea farms.
After a 5-hour closed door meeting with 4 Clans of the Talai
Community on Sunday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua assured that the land
and settlement issue will soon be resolved.
“We will help in solving the land tussle so that the men who
fought for Kenya’s independence feel proud of their effort,” he said.
Gachagua accompanied by several leaders led by Nandi
Governor Stephen Arap Sang said that they also resorted to have the 15 Km
Chepkober - Talai - Kaiboi road tarmacked. This will ease transport and
mobility in the area connecting Nandi Central, Chesumei, Nandi North and Turbo
Sub Counties.
On health and water supply, Gachagua promised to upgrade
Kapsisiywa Dispensary to a Health Centre and see the completion of Kombe Water
Project.
