    "content": "c) Cushioning workers and their dependants from consequences of income threatening risks such as sickness, poverty, health injuries at work as well as threat of poverty in their post-employment life. d) Looking at promoting key investments in human capital and fiscal assets by poor household and individuals and ensure resilience in the middle term that will break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. e) Promoting synergies and integration among social protection providers as well as positive interaction among stakeholders for optimum functioning of this policy. The Social Protection Policy is also based on the principle of leadership and integrity and also good governance, evidence-based programming, gender mainstreaming in assessing the implication of both males and females and any other planned action. It will also help in equality and social justice, improve enhancement to common standards, public participation, affordability and sustainability of benefits and flexibility of response to changing circumstances. The Committee observed the following during the hearing of this policy: (i) The Policy should provide strengthened transparency and accountability in social interventions. (ii) There is need to incorporate the powers of the Council to the Bill. (iii) There is need to review the legislation and policy in social protection. (iv) There is need to carry out regular monitoring and evaluation and reporting of social protection programmes and interventions. (v) There is need to harmonise data, for example, beneficiaries, despite differences in implementing agencies. (vi) The Ministry seeks the formation of the National Protection Council that will bring together key stakeholders in the area of social protection. The Committee made the following recommendations: The National Assembly adopts Sessional Paper No.2 of 2014 on the National Protection Policy. The Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services should strengthen transparency and accountability in social protection interventions. This will be through initiatives such as single registry, implementation of standardization targeting tools, common monitoring and evaluation system, common complaints and grievances handling system and various committees. The Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services should ensure that the powers of the Council are incorporated in the proposed Bill. I beg to move and ask Hon. Gatobu to second."
