    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question had been answered. The only point that arose was what we, as the Ministry of Finance, had done to talk to our counterparts in the Office of the President, to see how the terminal dues of the late citizen can be paid. We have done exactly that and we have actually discovered that the main reason why the benefits have not been paid is because on 28th September 2011, the Permanent Secretary, Office of the President, in charge of Provincial Administration and Internal Security wrote to the widow, Lydia Gathigia Njogu, of P.O. Box 2 Kerugoya asking her to give consent for the Government to deduct Kshs6,143 which was a liability that had been incurred by the deceased and she has not given consent. If she were to give consent today, the amount would be paid immediately. Therefore, I would like to give hon. Gitari this letter so that he can go and talk to the wife of the deceased to give authority and then the money can be paid immediately. This was as a result of overpayment of salary. By the time they realized that he had passed away, he had been paid one month’s salary."
