108. The Government should aim at a friendly settlement in the case of the Endorois
before ACHPR, leading to the establishment of a system of co-management between the
authorities and the local communities in the Lake Bogoria Game Reserve.
Access to justice
109. The Government should fully implement the recommendations of the “Mutua Task
Force” and KNCHR, and establish a Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission with
the power to investigate and provide redress and compensation to the victims of gross
human rights violations. Special attention should be paid to the investigation of the
Wagalla and other massacres, the compensation of the victims and the punishment of the
perpetrators.
110. The Government should ensure that all allegations of torture, rape and other
human rights violations are promptly, independently and thoroughly investigated by a
body capable of prosecuting perpetrators. The rights of human rights defenders and
indigenous activists should be specifically protected.
111. The national conflict resolution mechanism should include leaders from indigenous
peoples’ communities and be linked to local conflict resolution mechanisms.
112. Indigenous communities should have the legal right to represent their interests in
cases affecting their collective rights.
Social services
113. The Government should adopt the current draft ASAL policy and fully implement
it with the participation of pastoralist communities.
114. Indigenous communities should participate actively in the design, implementation
and evaluation of the poverty reduction strategy and the realization of the Millennium
Development Goals.
115. Affirmative action should be applied to promote education for indigenous children
at all levels, particularly for indigenous girls. Free boarding and mobile schools should be
an integral part of the free universal primary education programme. More appropriate
educational curricula should be devised, taking into account indigenous peoples’ distinct
ways of life.
116. Efforts should be made to protect the languages of the smaller indigenous
communities from extinction, by appropriate educational, linguistic and cultural policies.
117. Indigenous peoples, particularly indigenous women and girls, should be ensured
access to adequate health services. The system of mobile clinics in pastoralist areas should
be reinforced, and the use of traditional medicine and health-related knowledge should be
encouraged and legally recognized.
