    "content": "In the last Parliament where Sen. Osotsi was a beneficiary, the Government committed Kshs10 billion for compensation of victims of human rights abuses. I believe that even as we pursue this matter, the USA should not be the only one paying compensation. We also want the Kenyan Government to pay compensation because these are forgotten Kenyans. I expect that the Kshs10 billion for reparation and victim compensation should be reinstated. This is because we have different types of human rights abuses. Madam Temporary Speaker, at the coastal region, we have enforced disappearances. There are human rights abuses where police officers are accused of extrajudicial killings. Some people were killed during Post-Election Violence. We have Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and Infrastructural Evictees (IEs). The victims of human rights abuses must be compensated, including the 224 victims of the 1998 Bomb Blast. This is not only by the USA Government but also the Kenyan Government. That is what the law says under the Bill of Rights. It says that you right a wrong through compensation."
