    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My commitment to Sen. Wakili Sigei is that the two cases have been addressed. The second case had a little bit of issues because of the revision of the pension system following the court case. Therefore, there were additional funds that were supposed to be given to this pensioner and that was processed and paid in August, 2024. So, on the two cases, there should be no issue at all. On the rollout of the system, initially, there was talk that we should roll it out by the end of this financial year. The commitment from my team is that the roll out should be done by the end of this fiscal year. Again, as a Government, we usually have very good intentions and strategies, but implementing them becomes a problem or a moving target. I am trying to cure that and make sure that where we can implement the system immediately, there should be no procrastination and delay. On the issue of the outreach not covering some areas of the country, that could be possible. I will have to investigate this and find out if the rollout is uniform across the country and if it is adding value and people are appreciating it. Since, you can also roll it out and people are not even aware and therefore not appreciating. Senator, to be specific to your county, Bomet, I will find out. I will also look at other counties alongside Bomet to make sure that all Kenyans even those who probably today no question has been asked on their behalf, also benefit from the rollout. Thank you."
