    "content": "The Ministry through the regional, county offices and the school management has provided guidance and support to the bereaved families in pursuing these claims, which should be paid any time from now. The requisite forms have been completed and forwarded for processing. As a Ministry, we are pursuing to ensure that the payment is made expeditiously. Lastly, on whether the Ministry intends to compensate families affected by the suspected contamination, as I have indicated the Ministry through the Edu-Afya Insurance Policy paid the cost of treatment for the learners who fell sick following the contamination. The families of the deceased students will be paid Kshs400,000 from the group life insurance cover as compensation. The Ministry will also continue to provide psycho-social support for the affected families and students. These are the forms of compensation and support that the Ministry is able to provide within the existing framework. As a Ministry, we are taking this seriously. I go to each and every school with my senior officers. For example, yesterday, I was in schools in Siaya County. These are some of the things we ensure we check to ensure schools are able to comply and conform to the basic health requirements. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and Members. I submit."
