    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, this is not something to hide and so, I will just indicate the figure we give on or before 30 days. An officer serving within our country gets Kshs4 million above his pension which has a component called, death gratuity. However, if the officer is serving in ATMIS, like in Somalia, apart from that Kshs4 million, the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN) give the family of that officer US$50,000. If Sen. Mungatana feels that there is anyone from Tana River County who did not receive this money, I am ready and willing to engage him at the Defence Headquarters. However, there is a problem. The problem is where families do not agree. On a light touch, even in my life in Parliament here, there are colleagues of mine like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Mungatana, who we served with them in the 10th Parliament, some died and up to today they cannot get their gratuity because of family disputes and people have moved to courts. So, just like here, even in defence, we get a few cases where because of the family dispute, the money becomes inaccessible. However, Kshs4 million is within the first three weeks. If he is serving under the (ATMIS)--- Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to urge Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on a light note, that by the time he goes to heaven, he should not leave us with a lot of problems. Make a good disclosure which we can work on."
