    "content": "29 Thursday, 8th April, 2010(P) Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today, we are encouraging the former freedom fighters to fight a case. I am glad the Minister for Foreign Affairs is here because he has spoken strongly in favour of those people. Again, it is a matter of shame that this country almost 50 years after Independence when these people are at the sunset of their lives and when they need State protection in terms of getting pensions, all we can do is say we are supporting them to file a case in London to get what is justly theirs. The British Government has said this is State succession. I was very happy that the Minister for Foreign Affairs could see right through it and remind them that there is no way that the State could have succeeded taking over criminal activities for which so many people died. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am grateful that even as we support those Mau Mau fighters who have filed their case in London, the Government is acknowledging that we can be debating this Motion at the same time that we are trying to introduce a new dispensation or Constitution that brings in a new dawn to this country. It is with great privilege that I acknowledge and celebrate this day by seconding this Motion. I beg to second."
