    "content": "Thirdly, Mr. Wambugu had sought to know the amounts that have been disbursed to date, and approximately how much has been disbursed to Mathioya Constituency. To date Kshs694,260,000 has been disbursed through the programme in the 44 districts covered so far, out of which Kshs1,785,000 has been disbursed to beneficiaries in Mathioya Constituency. Finally, Mr. Imanyara had sought assurance to the House on the measures my Ministry had put in place to ensure that the programme’s money goes to the right people and not to fake people. This, indeed, is a very valid concern and I wish to assure the House that adequate measures have been put in place. This includes the disbursement of funds through the Postal Corporation of Kenya. This process is now operational in 35 out of the 44 pilot program districts and began in July, 2010. Where disbursement is still being made through the district treasuries - that is nine out of the 44 districts - normal Government financial management regulations are adhered to. The beneficiaries are always required to collect the cash themselves upon production of proof of identity. If the money is collected by care givers, the latter are required to be accompanied by the beneficiaries. There is sufficient documentation of the beneficiaries’ identity such as retention of copies of identity cards and photographs to ensure that only the intended persons get paid."
