    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill on the National Police Service, particularly on compensation of officers injured while on duty or who lose their lives while serving Kenyans. There has been an argument that all the disciplined forces should be treated the same and this has particularly been a very painful experience for an officer who gets injured while at work. What follows thereafter is really sad. Most of them either feel or get abandoned and the idea of medication becomes their own together with their families. As you may be aware, because of what they earn, it is really a sacrifice and service to the nation. If there is a place which should have been given priority, it is this particular area. This law will improve on how to deal with it. In normal circumstances, there is the Workmen‟s Compensation Act. Even though it is not compulsory, any employee who has employees that are likely to get injured have an insurance cover in the event they are injured or lose their lives. It is not exactly so with the police force or any of the associated forces including the prison department. All of them are exposed to danger. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
