Mau Mau lawyers are the biggest beneficiaries of the British out-of-court compensation to the former freedom fighters.

They are set to pocket a third of the £19.9 million (Sh2.6 billion) paid out by Whitehall. The 5,200 Mau Mau claimants are set to share £13.9 million (Sh1.8 billion) while the British law firm, Leigh Day, will pocket £6 million (Sh780 million).
