"content": "which is a non-conditional cash transfer programme to destitute elderly person above the edge of 65 to cater for their subsistence needs; NOTING THAT the beneficiaries receive a monthly stipend of Kshs2,000, delivered every two months through appointed payment agents, and also entitled to medical insurance through the National Health Insurance fund (NHIF); CONCERNED HOWEVER THAT the programme’s credibility is marred by issues of delayed payments to beneficiaries, difficulty in processing of the payments through the stipulated agents and payments to unregistered persons; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate recommends that the county governments compliment the efforts of the national Government and assist in resolving these challenges by- (i) Developing legislations and policy to protect the elderly, including ensuring all elderly persons in their counties are registered in the OPCT programme; and (ii) Organize value addition mechanisms such as financial training to help the beneficiaries of the programme to efficiently utilize this allowance. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
