I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding delay in the operationalisation of the Social Assistance Act, 2013. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the delay in the operationalisation of the Social Assistance Act, 2013, which establishes the National Social Assistance Authority and the National Social Assistance Fund, outlining efforts made by the Government to overcome any challenges in the implementation of the Act. (2) State the reasons for the establishment of the Social Assistance Fund under the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, as opposed to the Social Assistance Act, 2013. (3) Elucidate on the current institutional and governance frameworks that exist to facilitate the provision of social assistance to individuals in view of the non- operationalization of the Social Assistance Act, 2013, providing details on any ongoing programs.
