    "content": "of issues and a specialised way of meeting their needs. Therefore, it is important that we pilot first before merging because it may kill the original objective. Sen. Veronica Maina asked about the security that the groups are supposed to have. We are engaging the groups at the grassroots level, including the chiefs who know these women and help when we are tracking the monies that have not been paid. Actually, that is where we had a challenge when it came to digitalization because there was no follow-up. However, the 10 members who belong to that group are known to the local administration, and that is almost the main security that we are looking at. We have officers who are monitoring and ensuring that we follow the repayment of that money on a daily basis because they are in contact and they have their records. Sen. Mbugua asked the question about Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). On this, I would beg that I be allowed to get more details because this is a group that has to be dealt with clearly. I will be seeking for more clarification, although the answer that I have is that we will design a product that will be specific. Allow me to follow up, so that we get what is actually tailor-made specifically for the PWDs. On the issue of the recovery framework, we are looking at the physical visits and meetings of the individual borrowers. The group members guarantee themselves. These people are being reached at the level in which they even understand the language, because forms and issues of borrowing are mostly in a language that sometimes may be difficult for them to interpret. However, the officers who are reaching out to them are able to explain to them how they can fill those forms, use the money and repay back. Those are the answers that I have. In case there is anything that we have not clarified, we shall be seeking for more time to respond. About Marsabit County, yes, we commit to visit so that we can find out what is happening and how the women would want us to move together. I commit to that."
