    "content": "Insurance firms are usually fast in making follow-ups for people to have insurance deductions. For example, if your car insurance expires tomorrow, they will be on your neck for you to reinsure it. However, when it comes to indemnity, they are slow in processing in order to indemnify those who insured their property. It is a sorrow state that the family of Godfrey has not been indemnified simply because--- I am sure he has children and the family is going through harrowing moments because he is not there to defend himself. The process should be fast-tracked, so that the dependents are indemnified. It is painful that the insurance company is dragging its feet in indemnifying the family of Godfrey. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would also like to comment on another Statement that Sen. Mwaruma brought on the Floor of this House concerning someone who was dismissed unfairly. There is need to carry out investigations to find out why he was dismissed. Are the reasons justifiable and are they to do with integrity or the employee not going by the ethics of the organisation? If it turns out that it was unfair dismissal by the employer, then there is need for compensation because the act of being dismissed without notice leaves one frustrated. Many times, Sen. Kasanga has been talking on the Floor of this House about mental anguish that people go through. These are some of the issues that lead to mental anguish in people. If you wake up one morning and find out that you have been dismissed, yet it is something you had not planned for and you have a family and maybe you took a long- term loan, how do you repay? There is need for the Committee to investigate and ensure that the decision is fair and just to the employee who was dismissed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Mwaruma for bringing this issue on the Floor of this House."
