Muthoni’s Petition is very important. There are many officers who perish in the line of duty, especially the police. I have several cases from Makueni Constituency whereby we are following up on the compensation claims by several widows. The Committee now needs to come up with a standard way so that there are timelines. If a police officer or any other officer dies on duty, within a month or two, their families should have been paid instead of them moving around looking for help. You can imagine a situation whereby a widow who has children in school is forced to come to Nairobi at the national Treasury to look for compensation. Some of them have never set foot in Nairobi before."}
