    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Since the establishment of the Fund in 2007, Mumias Constituency has been given a sum of Kshs2 million. Out of this amount, Kshs1.2 million has been disbursed, while Kshs800,000 is still being held by our offices because the applications received have not yet been approved. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have given the hon. Member a list of the women who have benefited from the Fund. I am sure that he does not want me to read out the names. They are 24 beneficiaries. The total allocation of the Kshs2 million shows a balance of Kshs800,000. The repayment expected to date is Kshs592,290, and the total repayment to date is Kshs344,321, which indicates a repayment percentage of 57.8 per cent. The arrears are Kshs250,869. (b) What we anticipate the lending of the money to women groups to do include the following- (i) provide better nutrition to their families; (ii) reduce the number of children dropping out of schools; and, (iii) improve the community income at large."
