    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was in the late 1980s. You have been around for some time. I can see my friend Sen. (Dr.) Oburu is nodding. He must be aware of this attack. The attack was carried out in Lockerbie, Scotland and many USA citizens lost their lives. The Libyan Government paid over USD1.5 billion to the USA to compensate their citizens. We are requesting that these victims and their families be compensated. When the Ethiopian Airline Boeing 737-8 Max crashed, families were compensated. It is a tradition, and this compensation must be given. This is the least we can do. I thank the Committee for bringing up this issue. The second issue of subsidizing medical coverage is a small matter for the Ministry of Health. There is a verified and certified victims' compensation list. I am happy we have this list. We used to have many fake Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) list. However, this list has been verified and ascertained. This is a straightforward matter. We must give them subsidized medical coverage. Not only for care, but it is also to give them guidance and counseling because of the trauma. You can imagine the horror they went through because of the bomb blast. Most of the injured Kenyans became disabled. Disability sometimes does not come because you were born with it. In the last session, I was a temporary Person with Disability (PwD). I thank the Senate for giving me all the support. We request that the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection register all the PwDs and give them the necessary support after registration. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
