    "content": "If you remember, the Late Hon. (Dr) Joyce Laboso had brought a Bill which became law. This is the Social Security Act which deals a lot with social security issues yet you find that we still have scattered funds all over. The realistic thing to do would be to consolidate all those funds under that Act and under one body. When we have all those funds scattered all over the place, then a lot of them become cash cows as they are not effective. If you look at Uwezo Fund for instance, it can be a very effective fund if it is given sufficient amounts. But you will find that the Fund is doing the same thing the Youth Fund and Women Fund are doing and because of this there is no effectiveness. You could find that there are women groups right now that could be owning apartments and buses like we saw in the past when growing up. There was a group called Nyakinyua Investments Ltd. Unfortunately, they had some wrangles and one of my friends - whom I went to Limuru Girls High School with - lost her mother as she was killed in the process because you could see they were fighting over very serious resources. What we are talking about now is that we are giving people Ksh100,000, Ksh200,000, Ksh300,000 or Ksh500,000 for groups which in the end is not effective."
