    "content": "I want to thank the former and current Inspector-General for introducing the current police insurance medical scheme. Earlier on, many policemen could not even go for hospitalisation because they did not have a medical cover. They were not attended to. But, right now, they are being assisted. A number of police officers have died in the line of duty. Apart from assisting families to take officers who have lost their lives to their homes and then shooting in the air and just leaving the family, there has been no other compensation. Heads of families have died. Children have no fees, medical cover and no assistance completely. You realise that a number of officers who have lost their lives, especially most recently during the West Gate and at the border attacks along Kenya-Somali border, leave very young families behind. When young children are left behind, there is no meaningful support they are given. This Bill seeks to ensure that the next of kin of such officers are compensated and their children are taken to school with enough money. I also want to note that even the next of kin who are left behind, for example wives and husbands will be compensated."
