    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the ongoing debate. First, I want to appreciate the Chairman for the comprehensive Report he has given this House, though I have a concerns: One, the criteria used to identify these people who benefit from these cash transfers. Two, I have to add my voice on whatever Hon. Dennitah Ghati has just mentioned. There are a lot of people living with disabilities in my constituency. Actually, I have the figures. They have their own association. Out of those over 676, only 14 are benefitting. That means over 600 are not benefitting. The people concerned need to scale up means and ways of identifying these people. As well, there is the issue of timely disbursement. There are families who rely squarely on these cash transfers. At times they go for three to four months without this money. These families are really suffering during such a time. I am proposing that, in future, maybe committees should be established within sub-counties to be monitoring and updating the national committee on the same. Above all, is the issue of registration."
