"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, these funds are supposed to assist the elderly who in most cases would not travel. We have been having a lot of problems at the county level. Wherever we go, the first question from the public is why these funds have to be issued at the Post Office only. In my case, I have the largest county in the country. Some centres are even 600 kilometers from the county headquarters where the post office is located. Yet an elderly person is supposed to travel that distance to collect the money. If you decide to assist somebody, do it in such a way that, that assistance is beneficial to him or her. Why do they not device other means? For example, we have programmes like the Hunger Safety Network, whereby the money is brought to the beneficiaries where they are. Why do they not use other innovative means so that this help can reach the people?"
