    "content": "I also know of Mr. Bosire Chelion who is surviving but is among the ones who are looking forward to receiving the compensation. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Motion brings to account so many sad scenarios which we encounter as a country including the famous Garissa University Attack. Most of the students who died were from Kisii County – where I come from, while others were from Western Kenya. I am not saying we did not have losses in other regions but I speak passionately of those regions because those are the regions I hail from. About 25 years down the line, we should not be begging for compensation. As my senior, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, said, this has a diplomatic implication. Earlier when President Dr. William Ruto ascended to office, we saw the first spouse of the United States of America (USA), Dr. Jill Biden, jet into the country. Like many other Kenyans, as much as I did not have a relative in that attack, my hopes were renewed that we could now have compensation for these victims. I do not know if Kenyans are children of a lesser God. Why should we be pleading several years down the line? As I stated, a Petition went to the National Assembly. We now have a Motion here that we want to pronounce ourselves on. I see the Members of the Ad Hoc Committee are well able with the capacity we are looking up to. However, do we have to be on our knees for our own citizens who had no hand in whatever was happening to beg for compensation? Madam Temporary Speaker, what example are we setting to young people in these setups, who might actually be caught in any of these issues we are talking about?"
