Prayer

I, the undersigned, on behalf of Mnyonge Ana Haki, a welfare association of the Kuria people, also known as the Tende, and residents of Migori County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the Kuria people historically occupied the area now known as Moyoi in Trans Mara (Narok County), referring to it as Gutura, and their presence predates that of the Siria Maasai who arrived later in the 18th century; THAT, the Kuria had lawfully paid for 20,000 acres of the land in the 1950s
