The National, Thursday February 6th, 2014

 I WRITE to express my disgust and serious concerns over huge compensation demands and payments made in Southern Highlands (The National, Jan 29). 

In one incident, a tribe was demanding K6 million  compensation  for several deaths and received K210,000 as belkol  money  while another tribe had to pay K650,000 in cash . 

This is really ridiculous and is a totally unacceptable  and damaging attitude as well as a stupid mentality that is evil in nature. 

How can you expect a tribe or clan to come up with such a huge amount?

If people are involved in accidents, the insurance company is there to compensate. 

People who lead such demands should be arrested. 

It is a total disregard for our culture.

Our national security is also at stake here.

I request the government  to  enact  a law  to  completely do away with compensation demands. 

I demand that the police arrest these people before these practices flow into other communities in the future.
