    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the final response is to a Statement request by the Member for Ruiru, Hon. Simon King’ara, on disparities regarding distribution of cash transfers to the elderly, orphans and persons living with severe disabilities. On 6th May 2020, the Member sought to know what measures have been taken to ensure that all elderly persons, orphans and persons with severe disabilities are incorporated into the InuaJamii cash transfer programme. It is the intention of the Government to cushion all elderly persons aged 70 years and above, orphans and vulnerable children and persons with severe disabilities by incorporating them into the Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Programme. However, due to budgetary constraints, only a certain number is reached. Currently, the programme has 1,094,238 who have been successfully migrated from card-based to account-based mode of payment as follows: 766,254 older persons; 293,963 orphans and vulnerable children, and 34,017 persons with severe disabilities who are spread across all constituencies in the country. In Ruiru Constituency, the programme covers 2,124 beneficiaries as follows: 1,400 older persons; 552 orphans and vulnerable children and 172 persons with severe disabilities who are spread across the constituency. The Ministry has further confirmed that 105 older persons, 25 orphans and vulnerable children and 41 persons with severe disabilities were not migrated to account-based mode of payments due to mismatch in the data made available to the Ministry. Further, it is important to state that the condition above is not static since at any given time, there are people turning 70 years The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
