David Sulo a member of the Talai Clan in Nandi County displays photos of past coronations by the clan for various leaders. In 2011, he presided over the coronation of Martha Karua at Kapsisiywa without the consent of Talai elders. The Talai clan, whose totem is a lion, is respected in the Nandi community. In their minutes, the Talai council of elders said Ruto’s coronation was purely a Talai clan affair and that they totally support President Uhuru and his deputy Ruto. The letter has been copied to Kaburwo and Myoot council of elders, which are different entities from Talai elders,” said Koyogi.
