It has only come to our attention and we have a new Government in place. Our Mau Mau veterans fought on the long road to freedom for our nation and our Independence and here we are talking about a new Government in place that clearly has not stated what its policy is on this. The Mau Mau case was taken privately through private efforts. It has been a long legal journey that started in 2009 that has just been recognized now. The British are saying that they do not recognize liability even though they are willing to set a settlement in this case. So, this is a current issue. Let me point out that currently, Kenyan forces are in Somalia and I hope that they are not making the mistake that the British Forces made when they were in Kenya between 1952 and 1963 of torturing our people. The reason here is that 60 or 50 years from now, we may be called as Kenyans to account for any"
