    "content": "For the sake of the Members, the system was made such that there is only one paying station in a constituency. Giving my constituency as an example, you will find that the farthest point is about 15 to 20 kilometres away. I know we have other constituencies where the situation is worse. The wazees who go once in a month to collect the Kshs2,000 that the Government has graciously extended to them for their support, do so and they do not find anything. The reason? We do not know. Some of the clerks who pay them request them to put their finger prints. I am told that the electronic system will indicate the correct identification of the mzee who is meant to benefit. Then the clerk or the paying officer will tell the old man: “You are not going to get anything this month because the money has not been sent.” When the old lady goes back home, she has to come next month. She goes back home and waits for another month to come back, only to be told that the allocation for last month was not there and she will never get it. So, she has to be contented with what is current. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
