    "content": "The petitioners were seeking to have the then Attorney General, Prof. Githu Muigai, and the officials of the American Embassy here in Nairobi City County sit down and be compelled to come up with a way of compensating the 1998 Bomb Blast victims. There have been so many other attempts to get compensation for these victims. Sen. Tobiko is right in saying that I was a toddler then but I would overhear conversations from my parents who would say that something had happened in Nairobi City County. From the look on their faces I could tell that it was not something impressing. The United States of America (USA) has already compensated American citizens. If they have not, then they are in that process. Three years after the incident, they came up with a proposal Bill that later became law. They now have ways of compensating victims of various attacks. So many other comparative analyses have been done on how different countries are compensating their victims while Kenya is slowly getting on its feet. We need to appreciate and recognize the fact that Nairobi City County was a target because it is one of the largest cities in the continent and the world and we are a very strategic partner to the US government. We are making this plea and complaints because people died because we were strategic partners to the US Government. The page to page accounts and narrations of some of the survivors of the attack are really sad to read. In some instances, I noted that the Kenyans who died were preserved in a warehouse before being taken to the City Mortuary, while the American citizens who died were taken to the Lee Funeral home. You can see the disparity existing. I know of one Mrs. Hellen Oriero now deceased. The family is languishing in poverty."
