    "content": "ministries that would be involved in implementing the necessary interventions. It includes the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection among others. The Ministry will work closely with county governments in providing any support that would be needed by persons who would be adversely affected by COVID-19. The Government, through the existing structures, national and county for managing disasters in the country, has identified vulnerable persons in every county up to the village level. The criteria used to identify vulnerable persons takes into consideration the following: Level of income as provided by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics; status of an individual employed, unemployed or engaged in any business or farming; vulnerability due to age, disability, or illness and availability, access and utility of food, market prices of goods and services, climatic conditions and its effects on crops and livestock farming. The Ministry has always distributed relief food to vulnerable people without discrimination, favoritism, wastage or theft. The people targeted for assistance are identified using a community-based targeting and distribution system (CBTD) in which the local leaders and potential beneficiaries participate in identifying those who are needy and deserve relief supply. The County Steering Group (CSG) co-chaired by the county commissioner and the governor or his representatives oversees the entire process of targeting and distribution of relief food. There are however, occasional cases of theft or diversion of relief food which are dealt with administratively and in accordance with the law. All persons who receive relief food are not only expected to keep social distancing, but must also observe all safety protocols on management of COVID-19 pandemic. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Ministry has been running relief programme for many years. At any given time, there are people in the country who require relief assistance because their lives and livelihoods have been affected by disasters. Currently, the Ministry is providing relief assistance to people affected by floods and landslides across the country. For that, I have attached a list of distribution of food in the month of April and May for the Member to see where the food has been distributed. Thank you."
