    "content": " Hon. Senators, as you may recall, the issue of cash transfer programmes for vulnerable groups has generated a lot of interest in this House with numerous concerns being raised on the status of its implementation. Consequently, the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has invited the acting Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Labour, Social Security and Services to a meeting of the Committee to deliberate on the matter. The meeting is aimed at seeking clarification on a number of pertinent issues, among them:- (1) The formula used to divide and allocate the national resources allocated towards cash transfer programmes per county and constituency. (2) The claim that there are persons who are benefited from cash transfer programmes yet they do not meet the set criteria. (3) The mode of transfer of the monies to beneficiaries and what mechanisms the Ministry has put in place to ensure that the rightful beneficiaries receive the money. (4) To provide audit reports for the cash transfer programmes for vulnerable groups. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 27th October, 2015, at 10.00 a.m., in this Chamber. All Senators are invited to the meeting. I urge all of us to attend and participate in the deliberations on this very important matter. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
