(a) Yes, I am aware that the families of prison warders who perished in a road accident at Ruaraka on 1st, December, 1994, have not been compensated. (b) The Government paid Kshs52,170,000 through the families' advocate, M/s J.K. Kinyanjui and Advocates for compensation of the prison warders families. M/s J.K. Kinyanjui and Advocates have since been accused of embezzlement and the matter is still in the court. Once the case is resolved, the Attorney-General will advise my Ministry on how to proceed, so as to ensure that the families are compensated."}
