    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. I want to thank hon. Patrick Wangamati, who is a respected Member of this House. He has a legacy as far as the Independence of Kenya is concerned. This compensation must start with him. I know he was tortured and his people were also tortured. This Motion has come at the right time. Some counties are celebrating because they were compensated. People from some parts of this country like West Pokot, Turkana and Samburu suffered, but because there was rudimentary reporting, it was not recorded. Those who were compensated were the people who were recorded in Nairobi and Kiambu, where there were reporters who reported everything. The people who suffered the consequences of non- reporting were not compensated. So, this Motion has opened our eyes. The people from the northern part of Kenya must rise, if they are here, so that we can also file a case to ensure we are also compensated."
