    "content": "The Office of the Auditor-General and the Ministry’s Internal Audit Department, undertakes annual audit for Inua Jamii Programme. However, the Department is yet to undertake and disseminate any impact assessment of this programme, and that was one of the requests. Following this, the Committee recommends the following- (1) The State Department for Social Protection and the Ministry of Health to further engage with the National Treasury to actualize the NHIF for the persons above 70. We told them that they must do that and we gave them timelines by when they need to do that. Those above 70 are very few in this country. In fact, according to the 2009 census, because that is the one that I have really analyzed, has not changed much. Those above 50 are only nine per cent. So, Sen. Omogeni and your friends, you need to know each other. You are very few. (2) The Committee recommends that the State Department for Social Protection, Senior Citizens and Special Programmes reviews its budgeting practices to incorporate data and research evidence for budgeting Inua Jamii Programme. This will ensure that the budget needs and gaps in the programme are informed by data and evidence, they are budgeted for and ultimately funded. They have been making blind requests without knowing based on the trends and the population, the demographic changes and how many people they need to be budgeting for. That is why it is sad that 93,565 older persons are not in the system and 29,135 beneficiaries have not been migrated. (3) The State Department for Social Protection, Senior Citizens Affairs and Special Programmes undertake a comprehensive impact evaluation of the Inua Jamii Programme and reports to the Senate also on the above two issues, including the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) within 90 days of the tabling of this Report. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to table the Report now. I will urge the Senators to look at it because there are details, including of your counties and the older persons in your counties."
