    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to my brother Sen. Kinyua, Talai, in our community are feared people and they are very Solomonic. What you have done today by forgiving the four colleagues needed Solomonic wisdom and patience that you exercised today. I believe that is what I meant. I said ‘look like’ that is the use of euphemism. Some of the Mau Mau have been compensated so this is not a unique issue. The issue of land is emotive. Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, who is the Senator for Kisumu County, is not here today but he wrote a book called principles of conveyancing. In his opening remarks, he says, In Africa, land is a very emotive issue. This is a very dicey issue that we need to handle carefully. These people are being chased out of forests. They are living on the pathways and roads within the forest. That is the worst human indignity. The Talai Community has never been compensated. Some of the Maumau were compensated while others were left out. I appeal to President William Ruto. During the last Parliament, at the State of the Nation Address, I do not know which year, the former President committed Kshs10 billion for compensation of historical injustices be it in Ukambani, the Coast and everywhere else. I appeal to the Government that the Kshs10 billion should be re-budgeted. The Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and Committee on Lands, Environmental and Natural Resources as well as other sectors should have a kitty that can compensate these people that have suffered including but not limited to buying land,"
