    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the implementation of the Social Assistance Act, 2012. The Act sought to establish a National Social Assistance Authority, whose functions, as outlined in Section 4, are to identify and provide social assistance to persons in need of such assistance, among other functions. The Act also establishes the National Social Assistance Fund, under Section 34, to support the Authority. Therefore, I would like the Chairperson to inquire into and report on the following:- (i) reasons for the delay in the establishment of the National Social Assistance Authority and the National Social Assistance Fund despite the enactment of the Act in 2012; and, (ii) when the Authority and the Fund will be established so as to bring into force the provisions of the Act."
