"content": "Hon. Members, this is Petition No.3 of 2019. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 225, I wish to report to the House that I am in receipt of a Petition by Messrs David Njau, Leonard Ngure, Peter Kariuki and James Wanyoike, regarding non-payment of compensation by the Government. The petitioners are former officers and former servicemen of the then Kenya Air Force, who served until August 1982 during the time of the attempted coup. The petitioners allege that following the 1982 attempted coup, they were arrested, tortured, detained and imprisoned and were subsequently dismissed without following the due process. The petitioners filed several petitions at the High Court of Kenya and were awarded compensation. They have expressed concerns that even after their zealous service, including having put their lives on the line in defence of the country, their welfare has not been given due The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
