Raila asserts compensatory measures for Ex-prisoner's mothers

http://www.ntv.co.ke
Prime Minister Raila Odinga has directed the Ministry of Gender to factor all mothers of political prisoners in the ongoing cash transfer programme.  He asked the Release Political Prisoners foundation to furnish the Ministry with the full list of eligible beneficiaries.The PM said the government will also work out ways of developing a compensation package for the victims. The premier regretted that the plight of those who suffered political repression during the first and second liberation was taken for granted and stressed on the need to mind their welfare. He said the victims, including the women who joined the late Wangari Maathai in stripping at the Uhuru Park freedom corner to push for the release of their sons, must reap the fruits of their struggles. Odinga issued the directive at his office yesterday(Tuesday) when a section of the mothers of political prisoners who also staged protests with the late Prof Maathai at Freedom Corner paid him a call to express their frustrations and disappointments.
