    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Assistant Minister for the answer given. Mr. Abass is a resident of Wajir County. He was recruited from Wajir in 1959. Even at the time of Independence, all the officers who served with him, including himself were taken over by the Kenya Armed Forces as officers of the Kenya Armed Forces. This officer is aged and suffering as a result of sustaining injuries in the course of duty. I just want to find out from the Assistant Minister because there is no evidence to suggest that the responsibility was taken over by the Colonial Government, if the responsibility was taken over by the Kenya Government and not the Colonial Government. If that is the case, then it means the responsibility for compensating him was undertaken together with the responsibilities of care. Could the Assistant Minister undertake as an Assistant Minister for Defence to write to the British Government seeking for not only compensation, but also financial support and medical care which this old man now requires? Mr. Assistant Minister, can you undertake to write to your counterpart in the United Kingdom?"
