    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, these police officers happen to come from my constituency. I am very much appreciative of the efforts being made by the Government of Kenya, and the Government of Ethiopia, to trace them. However, the members of their families have not come forward to claim the terminal benefits because they are waiting for the Government to give its final position and declare whether these people are missing, alive or dead. I am aware that the policy is that you have to wait for seven years before declaring one dead. Seven years is a very long time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister consider paying part of the terminal benefits to their families while waiting for the legal requirements of the period within which the payment of the final benefits should be made? Could the Assistant Minister also take a position and state whether these people are dead or alive?"
