    "content": "Today, we are talking about compensation but I would like us to, first and foremost, pay tribute to the heroes who fought that great war. Considering the time when Kenya got Independence, in 1964, compared to countries that are very advanced, including South Africa, which got independence only the other day; it means that if our grandfathers did not go into the forest and fought the British Government, probably, because of our good land and the good things that they were getting from it, we would have gotten our freedom in 1970s and 1980s, like other African countries such as Zimbabwe. I want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the many men and women who fought the colonialists. I would like to pay tribute to the Mau Mau generals from the Meru region and Mount Kenya East region. Just like other hon. Members paid tribute to freedom fighters from their communities, I would like to recognise Gen. Musa Mwariama and Gen. Baimungi, from Meru; Gen. Ngai Kiriamiti, Gen. Kubai and Gen. Waciuri. These are guys who lived in the caves and only came out when the cause was complete."
