    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said, our records show that the families have been paid the amounts which they were entitled to, and any amount which Mr. Kinyanjui pocketed, we have dealt with. There were some families which felt that they should get more. For example, Mr. Kinyanjui had agreed with one family that they would be paid Kshs2 million. According to the records that he filed, that family received Kshs250,000. When we went into it properly, that family challenged us in court and the court made the proper assessment, taking into account the degree of dependancy, multipliers and so on, and came to the same figure of Kshs250,000. Another family was also promised by Mr. Kinyanjui Kshs3 million. They also challenged us because, according to the files, they had received Kshs770,000. When the courts assessed the amount which was lawfully due, it came to Kshs770,000. Therefore, I would like to inform the hon. Member that a number of families may go to him saying that they agreed with Mr. Kinyanjui that they would get Kshs2 million or Kshs3 million and that the Government would pay that amount. He should know that the Government will not pay that. The Government will only pay what is lawfully due and according to the records, the Goverment has already paid. If he has any particulars of specific families, let him come to me. We can again go through them and see whether or not they are entitled to more than they have already received."
