    "content": "teetotaler and a very committed athlete. You know, none of you has ever climbed even a small hill around your village, but he had climbed the Kilimanjaro, not once, but many times. But if you look at Kenneth Matiba today, it is an intense part of our story. Thank you very much, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, because the last time I visited him, the conditions were outrageous. I think he is somebody with so much fight that he would not want to sue a Government like the Government of Kenya because he is not seeking any reward. However, because we have forgotten about him and his family, and with his business going down, he has been put into a situation where now he has to go to court to seek redress. The same can be said about people I knew like Masinde Muliro and Achieng Oneko. Many of them have been talked about here by the Mover, even including the Prime Minister, Raila Amolo Odinga and myself. You know one of my fingers here was cracked by the police. You would never know how important a finger is until you lose a finger like I did. Mr. Speaker, Sir, under this Constitution, what I would now encourage the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission which Sen. Hassan knows a lot about, is to investigate all these abuses and give recommendations to this Government for redress, including compensation, because that would be a way of honoring our heroes. These heroes come from across all Kenya. It is not from any particular place in Kenya, but they come from all the communities in Kenya who have contributed very positively to the freedoms that we enjoy today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to end up by saying that the struggles of these people should always make us remember that we are one country. I want to emphasize this; be your brother’s keeper!"
