About

Ledama Olekina is the Senator for Narok and one of the more outspoken legislative voices from pastoralist Kenya. He has built a brand around blunt advocacy on land, education, community rights, and the political marginalisation of pastoralist regions. Narok’s politics sit at the crossroads of tourism, conservation, land ownership conflicts, and Maasai representation, which gives Olekina a natural platform for high-stakes local and national debates. He is often more visible than many of his peers

Key issues

  • Land and community rights
