    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, every time in Tana River, I attend a funeral of a member of the KDF, there are very elaborate ceremonies that follow. We thank the Ministry of Defence for what they do because it is a reflection of the discipline and arrangements that are there. The question I have for the Cabinet Secretary is if he can disclose the amount they give to each member of the family. That one is not a matter of national importance or a secret. He should tell us that apart from the flag, the salute, the nice songs they sing and all the ceremonies, how much money does the widow get on that particular date? I know that the armed forces regulations have a way they calculate death gratuities for their personnel and officers. That may be something they do over a period of time and the Minister should tell us. However, when they come to bury, what do they give? We need to know that because it is sad that we are always mesmerized by those ceremonies. In Tana River, for example, many of us go to see what is happening there because of what they do. Madam Temporary Speaker, Kenyans needs to know the amount given on the date of the burial of your son, husband or daughter die, apart from the death gratuity."
