"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are using the old Act which sets out the levels of compensation for injury and loss of life. For injury, we pay up to Kshs50,000 while for loss of life we pay Kshs200,000. We have said it in this House on many occasions that we have updated this in the new draft Bill that is due to be brought before this House so that the compensation levels are updated to the present economic situation. As to why we paid Kshs15,000 in some of these cases, I am not sure. I would like to go and find out. Really, for death, we should be paying Kshs200,000. There must have been some reason why these payments were made. I undertake to go and find out why there was this underpayment."
