    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this petition. The Inua Jamii Fund was meant to assist the very needy in the society. A lot of money has been allocated and disbursed by the Government to the vulnerable people in our society. However, just like the Women Enterprise Fund and the Youth Fund, there has not been an audit to ascertain whether those funds get to the intended beneficiaries. Accessing the funds through the banks is a nightmare. Most of the needy people have never gone to school. Even if they went to school partly, they cannot access the banks. There are many other ways that these funds could be wired such as through M-PESA or Pesa Pap to the intended beneficiaries. The other time, we were complaining about the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and Women Enterprise Development Fund. All these monies should be put together and sent to the counties where these people are. The Government can use the administrative officers to identify the needy cases and ascertain that a certain amount of money has reached them. Otherwise, this Petition is coming to our Committee and we will give it more input. We challenge the concerned people to ensure they use a better method of wiring and provide data on all beneficiaries and ensure they bring everyone on board. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
