Orange Democratic Movement party leader Raila Odinga has issued fresh demands for the compensation of families who lost their loved ones during the anti-government protests last year.
Speaking during the 62nd Madaraka Day celebrations in Homabay, Odinga urged President William Ruto to ensure timely compensation of the victims.
Odinga, who was responding to the recent apologies offered by President Ruto, noted that while it was a good gesture from the Head of State to offer his apologies, that was just a step on the long journey to the full reconciliation process. The veteran opposition leader who recently joined forces with Ruto's camp following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between ODM and UDA, in his 6-minute speech, stated that the move will help the country mark an important chapter from the protests witnessed last year. ''During the prayer breakfast, there were apologies from you and the Speaker.
But then there are issues of people who were injured should be compensated.
