    "content": "I also want to say that apart from the monetary compensation that the British Government has agreed to do, it is not fair for them to tell us that they are only compensating people who are alive. It is not possible. I know a few people who are alive and I know two old men in my area who were castrated because they were outspoken during the struggle. I, therefore, want to say that apart from the monetary compensation that the British Government has agreed to give to Kenyans, they should also come and apologize to Kenyans. They should apologize to our forefathers who struggled for us to get Independence. That should be one of our conditions in case the case is going to be taken up. I also want to say that because of that struggle, I am suggesting that we call upon hon. Wangamati and few hon. Members who come from various areas to form a committee as soon as we can. Last but not least, at the time Mzee Elijah wa Nameme was buried, I was too young and too naive to pay my tribute not only to him but to others who also took part in the struggle. Mzee Elijah wa Nameme, who started the Dini ya Musambwa, was buried like any other Kenyan but I think once we identify those who took part in the struggle The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
