"content": "for Independence should also go to court. The aggressor in this case is not Kenya Government, but the British Government and it would be difficult for us to rule that the British Government should also compensate other communities or people who have not gone to court. I also believe in the good spirit of having everyone on board. We need to have a comprehensive register of freedom fighters. As has happened even with the IDPs, if today we said that we wanted to pay the freedom fighters, not necessarily the Mau Mau fighters, very many imposters will claim to have been jailed in very many places. It is important for the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services to come up with a comprehensive register. The Mau Mau Movement has nine groups, all of them claiming to have taken part in the struggle for Independence. They fight amongst themselves and they never agree. All of them have taken different cases to court against the British Government. I support this Motion."
