At least 400 people were killed during the massacre at Kolowo in Baringo, along the border with the neighbouring West Pokot County. Mr Cheboi said about 150 families were in need of compensation since they suffered either directly or indirectly from the massacre. "We are calling on the British government to compensate families of the victims so as to end their suffering," he said. Speaking at Kolowo during a commemoration for those killed over six decades ago, the leaders challenged the British government to compensate families of the victims. Led by governors Simon Kachapin (West Pokot) and Benjamin Cheboi (Baringo), and MPs Samuel Moroto (Kapenguria), Asman Kamama (Tiaty), they vowed to initiate a legal process for injustices they claimed were meted out against the faithful of the Dini ya Roho Mafuta Pole ya Africa in the 1950s.
