He says part of the compensation payment will also be used for his other five children’s education.

Meanwhile George Mawi who lost his wife Patricia Mawi also in February says he will also use the money for his children’s tertiary education.

“This money will be well spent on my children’s education so that they can setup their families because we don’t know when we are going to go. So at least when we go, we address that they can look after themselves and their families.”

Attorney-General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says the Government is also looking at making additional provisions to the Accident Compensation Scheme.
