    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, we are making a recommendation that once court awards are given, payment should be immediate. However, we have cases where victims have been waiting for as long as 10 years without getting compensation from the Government. Another recommendation is that the Inspector General should ensure compliance with Section 25 of IPOA which requires notification to IPOA of all suspicious deaths and serious injuries that happen to members of the public in the hands of the police officers. Madam Deputy Speaker, we were told by IPOA that the NPS has never complied with this section of the law. They disregard it with impunity and it is just there to colour the Act. To them, it is like it does not exist at all. They feel like they have no obligation to make any report to IPOA. We recommend that the Senate should continuously monitor compliance of this section by requesting the Inspector General and the IPOA Chairperson to file status reports every three months to ensure that the NPS comply with this this particular section. Madam Deputy Speaker, another recommendation is that the Inspector General should ensure that the NPS makes available to IPOA and the KNCHR documents and reports in relation to crimes alleged to have been committed by police officers. This is a requirement of the law, particularly Section 7(1)(a)(i) of the IPOA Act."
