    "content": "Independence, they went through the same suffering, but for a just cause and that is why we celebrate them. After Independence, Kenyans unfortunately had to still fight to make sure that they attain what they had fought for during the colonial times. I support this Motion so that those Kenyans who were subjected to those inhuman acts by fellow Kenyans can be compensated. I would like to state that it should not be forgotten that much as individuals suffered, regions in this country suffered collectively, especially those regions in the northern part of this country. They suffered under an independent Kenya. Some Kenyans felt that Kenyans from some parts of this country especially the former Northern Frontier District were not entitled to their own views. We suffered injustice along socio-economic lines. Some areas were marginalized because of our views. There was no infrastructure development in terms of roads, health and education just because people in that part of the country had divergent views. We would like this to be taken into account so that when other Kenyans are being compensated because of what they went through as individuals fighting for their rights, they are also considered."
