"content": "I will give you an example of the prison warders. Sometimes back, about 10 years ago, prison warders lost their lives around the Utalii area on the Nairobi-Thika Superhighway. It took about 10 years for them to be compensated. When that money came out, we all know what happened. The lawyer who was involved took away that money. Most of the police officers come from humble backgrounds. Therefore, there was nobody to hire another lawyer to follow up on that compensation. There must be a clear way and structure. When a police officer loses his life in his line of duty, there should be a system whereby the family members do not hire lawyers. The Government, through the Attorney-General, must come up with a clear system of how the family will receive its compensation, without being introduced to another line of expenditure. This is a good Bill. If amended and implemented, it will go a long way to encourage our young men and women to join the Police Force."
