    "content": "have the ability to make this application will have the chance of getting this information, unlike most Kenyans who are not even aware they can access this information. I am, therefore, appealing to the Mover of this Bill to put in place mechanisms where these persons can have this information without necessarily asking for it. For instance, most of the vulnerable persons in the society including women and youth are denied basic things in the community because they have no information or they are not aware that they can access this information. We can have institutions like schools that provide information to persons so that they are able to know what is due to them. There is a case in my constituency, Malava, where senior Government officers were moving around the constituency in the name of looking for votes. They went round distorting information to women that the Government is providing money for widowers when this money is not there. The women are now developing some perception about the Government based on the distorted information. The old on the other hand are not aware that there is a cash transfer programme and there are things that are required of them to get that money. This is because this information is not available. These people are old, probably illiterate and cannot access this information. I, therefore, request that we avail this information. What is affecting us currently is that we are not availing information. Some of the fora I would recommend to avail information are public barazas . Currently, when chiefs and assistant chiefs call for these meetings, the attendance is usually poor. The Mover of the Bill may consider how to structure those public"
