"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member, in fact, wrote a letter to me about those elders who were not paid in those areas that he has mentioned. I have replied to that letter indicating the elders who gave their details and were paid. The problem we had - and it is clearly shown on the list that I have tabled – is that there are elders who gave different names from the names that appear in the ID cards. Some of them genuinely worked, but they could not produce IDs. So, it became a problem to pay such officials. In fact, what we have now done is to ask the District Commissioners to identify the genuine elders who worked and try to tell us who they are, so that we can send money to them. They will have to identify them physically so that they can be paid. I am sorry for those who were not paid on time but, at least, the number has now narrowed to very few people. The problem was that some of the elders were illiterate and they did not have IDs, while some of them transposed their names and so, it was a problem. It is clearly shown on that list."
