This programme is causing a lot of stress, especially to people living in a place like Kandara. When they learn that a neighbouring district like Thika is getting this money, we really feel bad. If they cannot do anything about this problem, I would like to ask the Government to scrap it because we are at a loss to explain to our people why my neighbour is getting it and we do not get it. Just the other day, I was almost heckled during a Mau Mau function in my area when I tried to explain to them that it was a pilot project; they did not understand that language of a pilot project! Again, something which is in the piloting phase cannot be in that stage forever. Even a child does not kneel and crawl on its hands and legs forever; it comes to a time when a child stands up and walks."}
