    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, before I read the Statement, I want to give a bit of background. I want to thank Hon. Passaris for her indulgence. Her Statement was supposed to have been responded to in the month of June, 2020. However, when we got her Statement, we were subjected to a game of ping pong between the Ministry of Devolution and Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government claimed that the issue of food belonged to the Ministry of Devolution whereas the Ministry of Devolution was saying the issue of pandemic food belonged to the Ministry of Interior. Finally, I have the answer for Hon Passaris. Thank you for your indulgence, Hon. Passaris. The Government, through the Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund and the Regional County and Sub-County Emergency Response Teams is committed to ensure that no citizen loses life due to hunger during the Covid-19 pandemic period. In particular, the Government has: (i) Identified 292,000 vulnerable persons in Nairobi City County who benefited from cash stipends during the Covid-19 pandemic. A total of Kshs620 million has so far been disbursed through M-PESA weekly cash transfers to the vulnerable in the County of Nairobi. (ii) Built and rehabilitated 100 bore holes in the County to ensure constant safe water supply during the period. (iii) Recruited 63,872 youth in the Nairobi Hygiene Programme – the Kazi Mtaani Programme - to alleviate their vulnerability to the effects of the pandemic. (iv) Distributed relief food as follows: 30,900 kgs of maize; 15,220 kgs of rice; 29,714 kgs of sugar; 12,986 kgs of beans; 13,074 kgs of green grams; 27,000 kgs of wheat; 3,593 kgs of salt; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
