A registration exercise was launched on Saturday as the county prepares to sue the British government over forceful eviction of the Kipsigis and Talai communities.

This is part of the activities lined up as the county prepares for the Sh1 trillion suit it intends to file against the British government for human rights violation committed against these communities during the colonial period.
