    "content": "Cash transfer, especially in this period of Covid-19, is an issue that has a lot of mistrust, especially from our counties. I speak on behalf of Migori County. I listened to the Chair. Hon. Mwathi, basically saying that my county of Migori is in Phase Two. One of the criteria he mentioned is for the money to go to the breadwinners of households that have persons with disabilities. I just came from Migori County. On behalf of the persons with disabilities in this country, I can authoritatively state that the criterion that looks at breadwinners of households with persons with disabilities was not seriously considered. As a Member representing persons with disabilities, I would wish the Chair of the Committee, moving forward, to elaborate how many of the breadwinners of households with persons with disabilities got the funds. The criterion of using the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government that trickles down to the County Commissioners, chiefs and Nyumba Kumi elders…. From my experience, on behalf of persons with disabilities, chiefs, deputy county commissioners and county commissioners do not understand well persons with disabilities. That is why we, members of the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, propose that the county commissioner and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, because that is the line that has been followed, should not just use the chiefs. They must use the offices of the National Council for Persons with Disabilities in the counties to identify the people with disabilities who are in the villages. They should not leave it to the chiefs. From experience, chiefs do not understand persons with disabilities."
