[Elvis Ogina, Standard]The minority Ogiek community has been hard hit by the death of nominated senator Victor Prengei who has been eulogised as a visionary leader. The fallen senator will be best remembered for his efforts to fight for the rights of minority groups, especially their land rights. And to realise this, the father of three had drafted the Protection of Minorities and Marginalized Groups Rights Bill 2021 to implement Article 56 of the Constitution. It is also seeking to boost the fight by minority groups for their ancestral land. On Tuesday, Prengei was eulogized as a visionary leader who tirelessly advocated for the rights of minority and marginalised groups.
