"content": "elderly person in Ileret, that person has to travel 500 Kilometers to Marsabit. Sometimes the money is not there, and he or she has to spend one or two days waiting for that money. Transport is a problem. Therefore, it will not be useful. With the kind of innovation we have like the mobile money transfer, the M-Pesa system, one should be able to get the amount of money he or she has been allocated, where he or she is by directly getting a cash transfer through the M-Pesa system. Let us make sure that these monies reach the beneficiaries and do not get stuck in financial institution because that person cannot come for it. Let us make sure that it reaches the intended persons. Also, when it comes to benefits like the NHIF, there must be a way of making sure that those persons are registered with NHIF when registering for the scheme. Then, the monies can automatically be deducted annually, so that their contributions are updated without necessarily money being sent to them. Let us have all that synchronized, so that the benefit we give to our elderly reaches the intended person the right way. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
