By BARNABAS BIIMore by this AuthorThe Nandi County government has begun the process of suing Britain seeking compensation for atrocities committed against the community during the colonial period. He represented Deputy President William Ruto and Francis Muthaura in the crimes against humanity case at the ICC relating to the 2007/2008 post-election violence. This led to the displacement of the Nandi community from their ancestral land in Nandi Hills and Kaptumo to allow for the setting up of multinational tea companies. “The county government will collaborate with the national government in seeking compensation and justice for the Nandi community,” said Dr Lagat. The colonialists took away, among other things, Samoei’s head and traditional regalia, which the Nandi community wants returned to them.
