Rachel Gikonyo, a survivor of the 2013 Garissa attack has spoken after the court awarded her Sh10 million.
Gikonyo said she enrolled at Kenyatta University after her ordeal at Garissa.
She said she forgave the perpetrators who left hundreds dead and tens injured after the attack.
"Nilisamehe wenye walifanya hivo (I've forgiven those who did this to us)," Gikonyo who is in a wheelchair said.
Gikonyo was a first-year student of the Garissa University College at the time of the attack pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Education (Science).
She was rescued by Kenya Red Cross and AMREF at around 12.00, over six hours later since she was first shot.
Evidence on record shows she was admitted for about 3 months and later underwent rehabilitation of her injuries for about 6 months.
In compensating her, Justices Mugure Thande, Anthony Ndung'u and Daniel Kemei considered the fact that her back injury deteriorated as the wound could not heal.
Gikonyo sustained spinal injury after the gunshots by the attackers which resulted in paralysis of the lower limbs and lack of bladder control.
Apart from Gikonyo, the three-judge bench awarded Ben Mwiti Sh4 million, James Muli Sh3 million, Dancan Obwamu Sh1.5 million, Anderson Owalla Sh5million, Alfred Kithu Sh2.5 million, Risper Nyakari Sh3 million, Mercy Chepkorir Sh1.2 million, Narius Kipngeno Sh1.2 million, Stanley Muli Sh4 million, Kasyoka Mwambeko Sh5 million, Evaline Chepkemoi Sh6 million, Ronald Moranga Sh7 million and Annastaciah Mikwa Sh3.5 million.
