    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support a very human Motion. It shows that Sen. Muthama has a heart and he has thought about something that many of us had not thought about. I believe that all Senators in this House have bodyguards and guards at home. Some of them even have a relative in the disciplined forces. So, congratulations to Sen. Muthama. When we look at most of these families, when the bread winner dies in the line of duty, they are all left languishing in poverty. This is because in our African socialization, most of the women remain in the village and the man goes to work. When the man dies and there are no benefits accorded to the woman, it is poverty that follows. Children do not go to proper schools; others die of malnutrition and things like that. If these families have an insurance policy or something to look forward to, they will be happy to see the man work out there knowing very well that in case something happens to the man, there is something to look forward to. We have other countries like New Hampshire in Rhode Island where they have a specific policy for a spouse of a police officer killed in the line of duty. I believe that if we can take this line, then people in this line can appreciate more and can do their jobs well knowing that if something happens while on duty, their families will be well taken care of. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
