    "content": "insurance companies, education insurance and now it has gone to crop and animal insurance which, in my opinion, unless we have amendments to this Act, it cannot be done well. What has happened during this drought and the compensation of farmers is really a disaster. It never covered counties equitably since it was just in some parts. It tended to be discriminatory. It is good when we have a law which leans towards the Constitution, so that it does not become a nullity. It is also good to monitor that industry closely. It is a place where there is a lot of fraud. We have seen several insurance companies going under liquidation or statutory management. When that happens, they rush to get court orders and block so many cases against them. Many Kenyans then suffer because of lack of compensation. They will not get compensation owed to deceased persons or people who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. In the whole of this regime, it is prudent - and the Leader of the Majority Party has done well to introduce amendments - so that there is accountability in the industry and that Kenyans who are now massively involved in it from the bourgeoisies to the common Kenyans in the villages will not be affected. It is important so that it does not become a class issue and that only a certain level of Kenyans are benefiting from it. Most important is to reduce fraud and to ensure that common Kenyans are not caught unawares."
