    "content": "Mohamed Mwaburu causing suffocation that resulted in his death, while his colleagues sustained serious injuries. The tragic death of Mr Mwaburu is highly attributed to negligence on the part of his employer, SECO, for not providing a safe working environment. The Third Schedule of the Work Injury Benefits Act, 2007 provides that an employee who is involved in an accident resulting in the employee’s disablement or death is subject to benefits provided under the Act. Further, Section 34 of the Act also provides that if an employee dies as a result of an injury caused by an accident, compensation shall be paid to the dependents of the employee in accordance with the provisions of the Third Schedule. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection on the following– 1. Information on the circumstances under which Mr Mbwana Mohamed Mwaburu of ID No.22693793 passed away. 2. Could the Chairperson provide a report on the safety precautions measures, that SECO has put in place including provision of appropriate gear at the work site for employees in order to protect them from accidents and tragic deaths; and, 3. Plans put in place to ensure that the family of the late Mr Mwaburu and the other workers injured on duty are compensated in accordance with the Work Injury Benefits Act, 2007. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
