British High Commissioner to Kenya Neil Wiga says Britain is ready to engage the Maasai over its bitter colonial past.

He said there is a long and difficult history between his country and the community emanating from historical injustice claims based on a series of events that consist of Maasai-British agreements of 1904 and 1911 which were done without the community's proper representation and consent.
