Mau Mau victims will have to wait until next year for their case against the British government to be heard,Mr Cecil Miller and lawyers revealed yesterday. The victims were not included in the first tranche of 5,200 people who were paid over Sh2.3 billion by the UK government in 2013.
Over 40,000 Kenyans who were tortured, mistreated, subjected to forced labour and detained during the State of Emergency in 1952. Mr Freddie Cosgrove-Gibson, whose firm is representing 20,000 of these claimants, told journalists at a Nairobi hotel that hearing of the cases will start in mid-2016
and continue for six months, following a ruling to that effect in December last year. “Justice is being delayed,” said Mr Cosgrove-Gibson, the lead solicitor for Tandem Law.
