    "content": "Finally, Hon. Temporary Speaker, as we relook at the disbursement, it can also be a nightmare because some of those caregivers squander the money belonging to the old people that they are supposed to look after. So, it is a very delicate issue. I think that is why the Government was coming up with the system of banking. All the same, the 100-year-old going all way from Kipipiri to Ol-Kalou where we have the nearest bank is also very troublesome. So, I want to call on the Departmental Committee on Social Protection to burn the midnight oil and come up with better ways of disbursement, because it is a real problem. We call this Ministry to order. Let them stop organising meetings that are designed for Kenyans living in Nairobi or the youth, and come up with better plans and give capacity. Equally we, as a House, ought to allocate enough budget because I also see they are overwhelmed. You will find that in a sub-county, that Ministry has only one staff who is handling more than 500 or 1,000 old people."
