    "content": "Finally, I want to speak about compensation. It was very painful to find a young lady, who is hardly 26 years old with three children, who had been misplaced from her home. When she went back during the day to check what had happened, she found her whole maize plantation cut down. She came to us crying and told us that she does not know how she will pay school fees for her children. I would like the Government to go down to the people, assess the damages and compensate these people immediately. After all, we used to have a Ministry of Special Programmes. I think there must be an equivalent Ministry in the Jubilee Government. When such things happen, the Government should go there immediately and compensate these people because these people’s livelihood has been interrupted for no fault of their own. Another 75 year old woman approached me. She told me that her son was killed last year in the clashes and her other son has been killed in this clashes. She has lost all her things at home. The most painful thing is that when she heard the young men coming to rob her house, she locked the door and stayed in. These people kept on knocking, but she refused to open the door. When they went away, she came out and locked the door, but hid in the compound. These people came back and found her and she was slapped by a young boy the age of her grandson. This is the thing that pained the woman most.The young man went ahead and took the key from her and they stole everything from her house, including her mattress. At 75 years, this woman has to look for security and plead with her fellow women to give her a place to sleep. She was now going from one home to the other, night after night, looking for where to sleep. These tales are too painful. I beg to move."
