    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We recognise the efforts made by the Government to cushion the elderly and the less fortunate members of our society through various initiatives, amongst them the Older Persons Cash Transfer Programme; Cash Transfer for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Cash Transfer for Persons with Severe Disabilities and the Hunger Safety Net Programme. In the last few years, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection has failed to incorporate personal details of some elderly persons and persons living with disabilities from Naivasha Constituency who registered for Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Programme. The Ministry has also failed to register elderly persons who have attained the age of 70 years in the last one year. It is on this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on the following: (i) What measures are in place to ensure that all elderly persons, orphans and persons living with disabilities are incorporated in the Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Programme? (ii) What steps has the Government taken to ensure that those needy persons are enrolled and benefit from the programme? 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."
