Families decry delays in compensation for civil servants killed on duty

For years, they have knocked on government doors in search of what they call their loved ones’ final dignity. Families of civil servants who died or were injured in the line of duty are accusing the government of abandoning them, with some waiting for compensation and last expense payments for more than a decade. Their anguish has been worsened by confusion and a blame game over who should settle the claims following the transition from the defunct NHIF to the Social Health Authority.
