    "content": "Members of Parliament who champion the rights of persons with disabilities the criteria, amounts and numbers that are involved here. Finally, there is also the hunger safety net that applies in certain sections of the country. I hope that the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, in his next communication will tell us how the four safety nets are distributed, the amounts and number of beneficiaries distributed across the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Principal Secretary in the State Department for Social Protection, Mr. Nelson Marwa, who has been responsible for these programmes. He is one of the few principal secretaries who reaches out to the Members of Parliament through formal and informal channels to inform us about these kind of programmes. The principle of subsidiarity is key in the constitutional dispensation. This kind of thing should be done by county governments. It makes no sense for someone sitting at Harambee House in Nairobi to decide who is going to get support in Takawiri, Remba or Migingo Islands in Homa Bay County. The county governments are in a better position to make such decisions. That is only possible with a good framework that will ensure that Governors are not just enrolling their concubines and favoured persons to the programmes. I beg to support this statement and urge the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and urge him to give us more details when he reports back to the House on this particular matter."
