    "content": "serious researchers in this country including those who have been employed here in Parliament to actually put data in place. This is so that our children can actually read about men and women who fought for the freedom in this country. Even if we will not be talking about compensation, we will have history and data. We can say that in every part of this country including Kisii and western Kenya, we have data of those who fought for this freedom. This is so that in future, in the event that we are completely unable to have any further compensation, we have something to show that there was need for compensation even though it never happened. Lastly, both the victims who are alive or dead deserve compensation. I find it hard to believe that we only compensate those who are alive and those who have passed on and left very needy cases like their spouses such as the case of General Kimathi’s wife. There is need to compensate in equal measures even the spouses and the immediate family members. This is because they suffered the same fate that these fighters fought for.Therefore we do not need to discriminate. Yes, there was compensation for Mau Mau from those communities that have been mentioned here, but the Mau Mau irrespective of the name that has been given are all over Kenya. The case was not about freedom fighters, it was specifically for Mau Mau, the people who fought for the freedom. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. Thank you."
