They fall far-short of expectations. First, I had asked for the breakdown of the number of recipients of cash transfer for each county with the corresponding populations, the reason being that we wanted to determine whether there was equitable distribution of these funds across the country. However, the Chairperson brought a list of counties showing the number of recipients. He did not care to give us the population of those counties so that we can compare them. Secondly, I had asked for the breakdown of each of the eight constituencies of Kitui County to be done separately so that we can interrogate the data, constituency by constituency. I recall that you intervened at that time. You told the Chairperson that in this age of digital information technology, there should be no problem in the Ministry doing that, but all the names were lumped together. Therefore, I have been finding it very difficult to interrogate this document. Nevertheless, I have also done some further homework; thanks to the delay in allowing me to raise this matter. I looked at a sample within my area, the area I used to represent previously. I found out that some of the people listed in this response are not alive. The problem we have – and you recall that the other day, Sen. Omondi raised the issue of cash transfers to people with disabilities. The Ministry admitted that they have a challenge and are unable to distribute these funds. Maybe the Chairperson should first answer why they find it difficult to give the populations of counties against the recipients and the names of people for every constituency instead of lumping all of them together. I know that it possible to do that. In fact, they can do it. Why are they giving money to people who are not living?"
