    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, this is totally unacceptable. The report that we have got today is not conclusive. There is no in depth report. I have information that whereas they are saying that they are 5,228 persons to be compensated, that is not the correct figure. They are fewer as the Leader of the Majority has alluded that there are only four people who filed the case. I also have information that the lawyers, both local and international are pocketing a cool Kshs1 billion out of the Kshs2.6 billion. That is over 40 per cent of the total amount. This is a very serious issue. I raised this issue because Kieni was like the epicenter of the struggle for Independence. We still have the colonial villages. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was in my constituency last week and we laid to rest one of the generals in the fight for the Independence of this country. Unfortunately, we do not know whether his name is in that list and so many other people who talked in that funeral. I am not comfortable with this report and we need to do more. The Leader of the Majority needs to do more because this is not satisfactory."
