    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank hon. Wangamati for giving me the opportunity. I support the Motion. When we talk about the face of Kenya, we should appreciate that all communities are the face of Kenya. So, it is of importance that we embrace national cohesion. Secondly, when we speak about Murang’a, there is a famous lady called Nyanjiru, and you know I am Wanjiru, who challenged men to wear skirts and was shot at the Central Police Station. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, therefore, when speaking about the MAU MAU struggle and compensation, I would urge that this House--- This is a very good Motion but its implementation is difficult. We need to come up with a formula by which the Government can identify all the freedom fighters. We know General Ihura and General Kago. We have many other people whose names are in the public domain. Despite the fact that only a small group of freedom fighters went to court and got compensated, I would urge this House to come up with a Bill, so that all the MAU MAU freedom fighters can be well compensated. Thank you,"
