Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I must apologize on behalf of my colleagues for not being here. I would embarrassingly ask that this Question be deferred to tomorrow and I will make sure that the Minister is informed.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry I was a few seconds late when the Question was asked. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry of Finance paid injury compensation of Kshs705,000 to the late Kelvin Mutuku Mutua’s next of kin on 5th October, 2010 through the Administrator General, Public Trustee. This was the only amount owed to him as per the Group Personal Insurance Scheme.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the figure has never changed. The amount is determined by the insurance company and is based on the claimant’s basic salary at the time of the accident. The final computation of the amount is arrived at by taking the claimant’s basic salary, which was Kshs11,750 per month and multiplying it by 100 per cent for five years, which is 60 months, and you will get Kshs705,000. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the mistake that was done was that they just calculated--- They assumed because it is 100 per cent--- The basic salary was Kshs11,750 and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I must point out that the Treasury only pays after all the documents have been received from the original Ministries. For example, in the case of the late Kelvin Mutuku Mutua--- I must, on behalf of Government, send out condolences to the family of this very hardworking officer, who passed away through an accident. The accident occurred on 2nd August 2008; it was not until one year later, this was on 15th December, 2009, that it was reported to us by the employer, the Office of the President. So, you can see there was ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, service gratituity has already been released to the estate. It was Kshs220,178.40, and it was paid on 5th January, 2011, again, to the administrator. So, the money is actually with the Public Trustee, Machakos; it is Kshs220,178.40. I would ask the Member of Parliament to confirm that the family has been paid, and if it has not been paid then he can take up the matter with me and we find out what the reason is. But the money is with the Public Trustee, Machakos.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the late Boniface Kamau, ID No.5540480 and Account Number 007280, had deposited Kshs955,242.65 with Kenya Finance Bank. However, it is not true that he lost all his money after the bank collapsed. (b) After liquidation of the bank, Mr. Boniface Kamau filed a claim for payment vide Claim Form No.29470 and was paid the protected deposit of Kshs100,000, together with the first and second evidence of Kshs90,262.45 and Kshs16.3899.90 respectively. He was, therefore, paid a total of Kshs206,662.25. Two cheques for the third and fourth dividends of Kshs73,771.75 ...
