"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Mr. Julius Kazungu, a former employee of M/s Wells Fargo was involved in a fatal traffic accident on 30th May, 1997. In accordance with the Workmen's Compensation Act, Cap 236, Laws of Kenya, the dependant of Mr. Kazungu was to be paid Kshs240,000 as compensation. The employer, M/s Wells Fargo, deposited Kshs240,000 with the District Labour Officer, Mombasa, vide a bankers cheque No.00191 dated 6th March, 1998, for onward payment to the dependants of Mr. Julius Kazungu. I am further aware that the wife of Mr. April 25, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 887 Kazungu, Mrs. Grace Kazungu, was paid Kshs140,000 instead of Kshs240,000. The balance of Kshs100,000 could not be paid on time because a former account's clerk in our Labour Office in Mombasa falsified Government documents to show that the employer, M/s Wells Fargo, had paid Kshs140,000 instead of Kshs240,000 as workmen's compensation to the dependants of the late Mr. Julius Kazungu. The matter was not detected until when the deceased's wife, Mrs. Grace Kazungu, raised it. Unfortunately, the culprit had already been retrenched. (b) The Ministry has drawn another cheque No.01001015 dated 24th April, 2007, in favour of the dependant of the deceased; namely, Mrs. Kazungu. The Kshs100,000 cheque has been forwarded to the District Labour Officer, Mombasa, for collection by the dependant."
