    "content": "(Amendment) Bill 2021, which we have approved and we have submitted our recommendations and comments to the Speaker. In respect of Bills, we have considered the Persons with Disability (Amendment) Bill 2020 and the County Hall of Fame Bill No. 9 of 2021. We have also held stakeholder engagements and public hearings on all the mentioned Bills. The Committee has concluded on the Bills and will be tabling the reports on these Bills. Madam Deputy Speaker, we have had four Statements that were committed to us and reported on two Statements under Standing Order No. 51 (1) (a). The first one was on Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Programs where we invited all Senators to receive details of the status of this cash transfer to elderly persons and orphans and windows in the different counties. We gave a tribute to the late Benjamin Ayimba who was a rugby player, captain and coach who we laid to rest and may God rest his soul in peace. There are four Statements that have been committed to this Committee under Standing Order No. 48 (1). The first one is the Status of the Kenya Scouting Association (KSA) by Sen. Were, who is a former scout like me. The second one is delays in payment of Work Injury Benefits and Other Related Compensations to Staff from County Government by Sen. (Dr.) Ali. He sometimes forgets to tell you how we have intervened severally in his county, including on payments of people who the former governor was not paying. On the national Government interventions to cushion Persons with Developmental Disabilities in line with the Big Four Agenda on Universal Health Cover (UHC) by Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura, the Committee has been following up. This question has been asked I think under Statements - the matter of payment of one-off honorarium and pension to former councilors which was brought as a Statement and Senate resolution. In fact, it is a resolution that has been resolved twice by this House."
