    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion is important. It is something that should not even have taken too much time because it is obvious. It is asking for something that should be done after an obvious thing has happened. When somebody dies in service, obviously, he or she is supposed to be compensated. This is what we are trying to drive towards. We are trying to get the Government machinery to know that something obvious should not take a lot of time being discussed in a House like this one. However, the absence of that action is what is prompting Sen. Muthama to move this Motion, which I support. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we talk of many things and this is something that exists in many countries. Most countries in the world which have state facilities like the United States of America (USA) and other Western countries, this fund is there. As soon as you die or have problems in the service, the Government comes in and takes the decision. They take the children and compensate the spouse. Therefore, this is something we need to introduce or borrow because it is happening elsewhere. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is something I have observed here. Once we discuss and pass a Motion or a Bill, we always hope that it works. According to what I have heard, especially from Sen. Musila, in the Ninth Parliament we passed a Bill, where The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
