Cord leader Raila Odinga and Nyatike MP Edick Anyanga last Thursday in Awendo town.

Nyatike MP Edick Anyanga has established a team of lawyers that will file a case against the British government.

Anyanga told Migori News in an interview that the team will seek compensation for Nyatike residents killed and maimed during colonial period.

“Nyatike residents were tortured and their land reverted to colonialists and later government. What we have in Kenya is history being skewed to only favour central province,” the legislatyor said.

He said the case will be similar to that filed by Mau Mau fighters and the team of lawyers will soon seek villagers especially from Karungu area where a colonial ship used to transport prisoners to Lake Victoria islands sank at Sori beach.

“The colonial government received resistance in Nyatike area especially in Karungu area where most people were killed, maimed and women sexually abused,” Anyanga said.

He said in 1960s, just before independence, colonialists still used the Sori and Muhuru Bay beaches in his constituency to help kill off rebellion against their rule.

“My constituents should be compensated by the colonial government and have huge tracks of land stolen for mining which later reverted to current government issued back to owners,” he said.
