"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to start by thanking the Majority Leader for that Statement. I want to remind him that this Government is in place because of the efforts of the Mau Mau. That is how we managed to get a Kenyan Government that is now 50 years old. Since it was the British Government against Kenyans, and we have our Government, why did the Government not seek for compensation on behalf of the victims from the British Government as opposed to individuals coming out to ask for their compensation? The Government should have come out, collect information, get the people from all the areas who were aggrieved and sought for compensation. I want to agree with my colleagues that it was not only in Central Province where people suffered. Central Province may have been at the epicentre but we also had effort from other areas including Western Province that participated in the liberation of this country from colonialists."
