In Nyeri County which I represent, and we have just finished debating the Heroes Bill, many of our heroes are heroes of the Mau Mau fighting. Some of them still live up to this date. Some of them also need the recognition that should have come with it. Some were worst hit like my grandfather who lost his land and everything and was never compensated. However, that is not the path that we want to take. We do not want to go into an argument over who is more of a victim than the other. There were victims in North ...

As I wind up, I want to appreciate that this country and the National Assembly, in particular has a lot of work in terms of moving this country forward on matters of reconciliation.
