The Ogiek are in a crisis. They need srpoput. The crisis today facing the Ogiek of Chepkitale can be traced back to 1890 when Kenya became British protectorate. At this time African reserves were created for Africans and one of them was Chepkitale Native Reserve in Mt Elgon. Demarcation of this reserve was completed in 1928 and the reserve was gazetted in 1932.The Ogiek were traditionally hunter-gatherers and now pastoralists. Women practice weaving of bamboo handicraft. Their baskets taken to lower parts of Mt Elgon where they are exchange for cereals.For the last 40 years the Ogiek (dorobo) of Chepkitale,Mt Elgon region have not had a permanent place of settlement. The place that the Ogiek traditionally thought of as home Chepkitale was clandestinely gazetted as a National Game Reserve on 6 June 2000, by the Mt Elgon County Council with the help of former MP Hon Joe Kimkung from. The Council and Mr Kimkung convinced the Government of the day that the Chepkitale Trust Land be redesignated and gazetted as the Chepkitale Game Reserve via a legal notice No 88 dated 6 June 2000 made by Hon Marsden Madoka, then Minister in the Office of the President. This entire process was a serious violation of human and land rights of the Chepkitale peoples by transforming their ancestral land to be a game reserve at the expense of the minority community's livelihood.
