"content": ", which is an unconditional cash transfer programme to destitute elderly persons above the age of 65 years to cater for their subsistence needs; NOTING THAT the beneficiaries receive a monthly stipend of Kshs.2,000, delivered every two months through appointed payment agents, and also entitled to medical insurance through the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF); CONCERNED HOWEVER THAT the programme’s credibility is marred by issues of delayed payments to beneficiaries, difficulties in processing of payments through the stipulated agents and payments to unregistered persons; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate recommends that the County Governments complement the efforts of the National Government and assist in resolving these challenges by:- 1. Developing legislation and policies to protect the elderly including ensuring all elderly persons in their counties are registered in the OPCT programme; and 2. Organise value addition mechanisms such as financial training to help the beneficiaries of the programme to efficiently utilise this allowance."
