    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Petitioner for bringing up this matter. The Inua Jamii Programme is a good programme targeting cash transfers to the elderly, orphans and to Persons Living with Disabilities. However, I have one small problem with the programme in terms of the structure. One, the Committee to which will deal with this Petition needs to find out why this cash transfer initially was being processed through the Postal Corporation of Kenya and now through the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB). There will be need to understand the rationale behind this shift. This is because there are more postal corporation offices in the rural settings than there are KCB branches in the rural settings where a lot of these people are. The second issue that the Committee should look into is the management of the list of beneficiaries because it is a very serious issue. There are new persons qualifying to be enlisted and there are also people who exited through natural attrition, but their names are still enlisted as beneficiaries. Those lists are never updated and the management is very haphazard. There will be need for the Committee to make sure that the real bona fide legitimate beneficiaries get these funds to benefit them and to advance their goals in life."
