Raila in new push for compensation of freedom fighters
Opposition leader Raila Odinga delivering his speech at Tamarind Hotel in Nairobi on November 8, 2023 during the launch of Mau Mau Freedom Fighters Foundation website.
Lawyer Paul Muite said they will continue to demand an apology since freedom fighters were not terrorists.
Mr Odinga while serving as the Prime Minister personally lobbied then British PM David Cameron for an out-of-court settlement for Mau Mau survivors.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has revived the push to have freedom fighters compensated for the atrocities they endured during the struggle for the country’s independence.
Mr Odinga said such pay should be extended to family members of those who have since died. This, even as he said the compensation should be inclusive so as to deal with all the historical injustices through a bi-partisan approach.
