    "content": " During the weekend, as the Luhya nation, we are undergoing the circumcision ceremony. So, I was busy at home with my people. This issue of cash transfers is very important. The Committee should look at the issues of timely disbursement. We should change the methodology of disbursement. When you go to other jurisdictions, for example, in the United States of America (USA) where they give money, it is different. On this issue of cash transfers, we should use the M-Pesa. The M-Pesa has stood the test of the time. This is the best timing. This is so that elderly people and even people with disabilities do not have to travel for 20, 40 or 100 kilometres. It does not make sense that one spends Ksh2,000 on transport to go and get Ksh3,000. We should look for a framework. Maybe they can partner with Safaricom or Airtel for this disbursement so that it is convenient for the villages as much as possible. Otherwise, it is a good initiative and we appreciate. I thank you."
