Sotik Constituency: Difference between revisions

Sotik would have been [[Kisii people|Abagusii]] and [[Maasai people|Maasai]] territory before 1800 but with a treaty put forward by [[Menya arap Kisiara]], the Maasai migrated to [[Narok]]; and in the 1830s the arrival of the three sons of [[arap Turgat]] from [[Nandi County|Nandi]]; led to a forceful and violent eviction of the Abagusii from the reaches of Bureti ([[Kapkatet]]), to [[Keroka]] which has a meaning of 'look at home' in Kipsigis dialect.

 

 

Sotik in its initial status was a stretch of plains where big game was practiced. It is in American records that America's 26th President:- [[Theodore Roosevelt Jr.]] liked to use the [[405 Winchester]] [[centerfire rifle cartridge]] and on occasion killed lions.
