    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the death gratuity for Corporal Willy Kipruto Kiplagat was not paid. However, I am aware that on 26th November, 2001, death gratuity was actually paid through the widow’s Post Bank Account No.8923X, Kabarnet Branch. The widow, Mrs. Rebecca Tungo Kipruto, is also receiving a monthly widow’s and children’s pension on the same bank account, payable to the children until they attain their 24th birthday. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what has not been paid to the widow is Group Personal Accident Insurance compensation by the United Insurance Company since the company was placed under statutory receivership in 2003 before the payment was made. However, efforts to pursue the matter have been hindered by the fact that the company was placed under moratorium by the High Court. (b) So far, there has been no commitment from the United Insurance Company to pay its debts and, once payment is made to the Ministry, the late Corporal Willy Kipruto Kiplangat’s widow will, in turn, be paid."
