The elders, popularly known as Orkoik, held prayers and offered sacrifices on a nearby hill. They included Christopher arap Agui, Lawrence Nganai, and Stephen arap Tormoi.

Ruto was then handed leadership instruments, including a baton (nogirwet) and a traditional stick (Siarit) said to have been used by legendary Nandi chief medicine man Orgoiyot-Kipnyolei arap Turgat.

"This is not a petty ceremony but a serious one. Those who accept it get divine protection from evil spell and physical harm," he said.

The Talai ceremony also involves dressing of a person with a lion skin and handing him a Colobus Monkey cap as he sits on a special stool, one which was last used to crown President Kenyatta after the Supreme Court ordered a repeat of the 2017 presidential election.

The same elders had given the late President Daniel Moi the famous rungu that highlighted his 24-year rule. The rungu was passed to Moi's eldest (after Jonathan passed on) son Raymond Moi, who subsequently handed it to Kanu chairman Gideon Moi during their father's burial in what symbolised the handover of the reins of power.

The Talai clan elders are said to have the power to predict good tidings besides protecting one from harm's way. They are said to have demanded back the rungu given to Moi in February after the former president died. It's not clear if they got it back.
