The Talai community in Kenya has renewed calls for government intervention to address long-standing grievances over historical land injustices, recognition, and political representation, lamenting decades of neglect since independence.

• The community highlights that their plight remains unresolved despite multiple approvals from government bodies, including the Senate and the Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC).
• Secretary of the Talai community Noah Kipkosgei noted that injustices were compounded by the imprisonment of Talai elders during the Mau Mau struggle, some of whom were detained for over a decade.
• The Talai were forcefully removed from their ancestral lands in Kericho and Nandi by the British Colonial government through the Laibon Removal ordinance enacted in 1934.
