    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to plead with the Hon. Member that I agree with the numbers he has proposed on parts “a” and “b” but I think that once you put Kshs1 million, you will still have the same problem where somebody gets a scratch and asks for Kshs1 million. Now that I am on the Floor, I would like to propose a subsequent amendment to his amendment, that the fact that we have already amended that these compensations will not be done by the Service makes his proposed Clause 2(a) not possible. This is because it is not the Service that shall compensate, but it is the Cabinet Secretary. Secondly, even with the Cabinet Secretary and the Compensation Committee asking them to react in three weeks and putting it in legislation, it is a bit getting into the line of administration. The Member will agree with me that it is worthwhile that we remain with a maximum of Kshs5 million in case of death; a maximum of Kshs3 million in case of permanent disability and a maximum of Kshs2 million in case of body injury depending on the extent of the injury. That will cover his amendment of increasing compensation for body injury but not cover the fact that any person who brings a complaint on an injury automatically gets Kshs1 million. So, I would plead with my brother who has been very active in public consultations that we have had on this Bill to accept the amendments that we have."
