Jubilee MPs have contributed Sh1 million for the businesswoman whose matatu was burnt during Cord demos on June 6 in Nairobi. They handed over a petition at Harambee House before proceeding to Cord leader Raila's office at Capitol Hill where they dumped the burnt matatu . "At the assembly, we have contributed Sh1 million to buy a new matatu because we cannot let her suffer, yet this was her first loan," he said in Kiambu. The parties are seeking compensation for losses incurred during protests, and sought an order stopping Cord principals from holding further demonstrations. Gatundu MP Moses Kuria on Monday said the MPs decided to compensate the owner, Agnes Macharia, to enable her invest back into her business.
