"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I must point out that the Treasury only pays after all the documents have been received from the original Ministries. For example, in the case of the late Kelvin Mutuku Mutua--- I must, on behalf of Government, send out condolences to the family of this very hardworking officer, who passed away through an accident. The accident occurred on 2nd August 2008; it was not until one year later, this was on 15th December, 2009, that it was reported to us by the employer, the Office of the President. So, you can see there was one year delay before the Office of the President presented documents to the Ministry of Finance. So, the Ministry of Finance is sometimes blamed really when it is not to blame. Unless we are informed, we have no way of knowing whether somebody has passed away or somebody had an accident. You can see that in this case there was a delay of one year before the matter was reported to us. I would request the Ministries, please take the welfare of the employees seriously. When an employee passes away, please present documents to the Ministry of Finance immediately to avoid some pain being caused to families."
