The Talai clan and Kipsigis community's case against the United Kingdom (UK) over historical land injustices, has finally been filed at the European Court of Human Rights.
Outgoing Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony whose administration initiated the case argued that the UK's treatment of their complaints had violated the European Convention on Human Rights to which the UK is a signatory and which applies in respect of the complaints. He termed the court move as a historic day for the victims who were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
