    "content": "The idea of having safety nets is wonderful. I am happy because Hon. Deputy Speaker mentioned it. The Government moved from Kshs310,000 to Kshs717, 000 and they want to move to Kshs1.7 million. Unfortunately, there is no allocation in the Schedule. We are not sure whether by 2018 we will reach there. The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is a government in waiting. If CORD will be in power in 2018, we will increase those safety nets. The safety nets are good for the elderly. Unfortunately, they are given out irregularly. The money does not get to the recipients on a monthly basis. This is creating another big problem. For instance, the elderly people in my constituency have not got their stipend for four months. They are asking what has happened to their money. They are wondering where the money has gone to and whether this is another scandal. We need to address the issue of cash transfers."
