    "content": "a widow who was barely one year old in marriage and a child who was barely a month old. Nobody cares about how that family survives. Let me tell the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations that this provision requiring compensation is already in the Kenya Defence Forces Act. There is nothing we are adding here. My amendment sought to go further and quantify the benefits these men and women should get. I was proposing very simple things, which due to our technical requirements, we are not able to process now. However, I request that my Bill be processed quickly. I was proposing that if you have a situation like the two that I have mentioned, and there are several of them across the country, let their children, if they can go to school, benefit from university waiver for the first degree or secondary school waiver. Just that! Let us give some compensation because they died fighting for the country. I will support this because it is already there, but I pray that I be facilitated in terms of my amendments because I do not want to contest the Speaker’s ruling. I cannot. Let them be processed quickly, so that we put tangible meaning to it."
