    "content": "The temptation of a high maximum of Kshs5 million from the current one of Kshs1million, the risk of depleting the funds will be too much. I am, therefore, pleading that in terms of structuring compensation--- These compensations will be compared with others, say, in the motor vehicle industry where we have gone the direction of fixed amounts. We should not make one type of injury leading to death or permanent disability a bit too high in the scales and you automatically then raise even what the courts will be considering. They will say, Parliament already fixed this figure here and so other liability claims will be pulled up by this compensation recommendation in this particular act. So, I would rather support the cautious approach by the Chairperson of the Committee. We start there and then periodically the stakeholders will be reviewing these compensations and we amend them upwards based on the general trend of the economy."
