英文原文

At the close of 19th century, the Orkoiyot (or divine leader from the Talai Clan) took an almost executive role when Koitalel Arap Samoei led the Nandi nation to resist colonial rule, for 11 years, opposing alienation from their ancestral land. He had a strong military and he was feared. After his defeat the British briefly tried to harness his Talai clansmen to the system of colonial rule – promoting them as chiefs. This was based upon a misunderstanding of the status of Orkoiyot, whose powers often stood in direct conflict with the authority, yet, lionized by the locals.

The modest Koitalel Museum in Nandi Hills Town honours Koitalel Arap Samoei, the legend who led one of the mettlesome charges against adverse colonial land policies in Kenya ( Nandi Resistance ) at the height of colonial occupation in Kenya. On October 19, 1905, on the grounds of what is now Nandi Bears Club, Koitalel Arap Samoei was asked to meet Col Richard Meinertzhagen for a truce. Koitalel agreed! Instead, Meinertzhagen killed Koitalel and his entourage in cold blood. Sosten Saina, the grand-nephew of one of Arap Samoei’s bodyguard recalled:

“There were about 22 of them who went for a meeting with the “mzungu” that day. Koitalel Arap Samoei had been advised not to shake hands because if he did, that would give him away as the leader. But, he extended his hand, and was shot at point-blank range”. At the Koitalel Arap Samoei Museum are two towering, symbolic fig trees, one believed to mark the actual patch where his body was buried. The museum gallery displays memorabilia and relics of the venerated leader as well as an assortment of artefacts depicting the ‘way-of-life’ in Nandi.
