    "content": "Notice No.2295 of 30th April, 1999 to oversee the implementation of the National Poverty Eradication Plan and co-ordinate the efforts of all poverty stakeholders in the fight against poverty in the country. The decision to establish the Commission emanated from the Government’s decision to implement the commitments by the world leaders during the UN World Summit for Social Development held in Copenhagen in March, 1995, during which our own Government made firm commitments. (b) The Government has to a limited extent supported the Commission to implement the mandates since inception as shown by the table, which I have given to the hon. Member, in terms of funds that have been allocated by this House to the Commission. They have been very limited in the fight against poverty. (c) I have given the hon. Member the full list, showing how the money has been given out to the 71 original districts, with a breakdown. The criteria used to select regions to benefit from the Commission’s programmes include poverty levels, regional balance, existence of ongoing poverty reduction interventions and existence of other commissions. Eldoret South Constituency can only be considered once the level of money allocated to the Commission increases. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
