    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Mungatana asked about the sustainability of this programme. He is skeptic by drawing examples from the past. I want to say that we are not responsible for the past which were the School Feeding Programme, the Nyayo Milk for Schools Programme, the Nyayo Wards, the Nyayo Pioneer Car and all those other ones. Those are the things that we have since taken to the museum. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this programme is intended to be sustainable and that is why we are going about it systematically. We are beginning, first, with the experimental case to test if it is going to work and also to determine the levels of funding that will be adequate to deal with the vulnerable people. Ultimately, we want to introduce a proper social protection programme for our people. We are doing this programme with donors who have, themselves, offered to actually travel with us along this route. The World Bank has got a fund for the poor, so does the DFID and the World Food Programme. So, this programme is already operating at some of the rural areas. It is a combination of both cash and food distribution. For example, we are already operating in some ASAL areas of our country. So, I want to assure the hon. Member that this programme will be sustainable. It will be sustainable because the Government will be setting aside a certain amount of money for it from the Exchequer on an annual basis."
