About Nandi Way Back When
Brief History of Nandi County
If freedom and self-sustenance is all about keeping control of local resources, especially of the land factor of production, Nandi’s adverse assimilation of the disruptive colonial land policies gave a glimpse of what can happen when you briskly lose it. The seemingly impregnable native system of customs in Nandi, that had withered many disruptions, including every so often factions with the Maasai, defiantly faced down any form of conquest, opposition or oppression.
Prior to the arrival of the British colonial government in Nandi, the natives had carried the day in the battle arena; notably of the factions with Maasai. But, the new visitors turned this strife a few notches up. By the grand assertion that the Crown and not the natives had original title to some land in Nandi was in many ways the wellspring of all the bad blood, the taxes notwithstanding. The native Nandi in return resisted the outsiders intrusion into their land. Consequently, following the 11-years Nandi Resistance, the punitive expeditions culminated in the 1905 ‘Nandi War’ and one of the savage campaigns led by the British forces.
