    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will quickly go to the point. First, I commend the Committee for doing such a wonderful job. The recommendations are quite large. I wonder when they will all be implemented. I want to comment on the economic aspect. One which is critical is on the cash transfer to the elders. We realized that yesterday, there were text messages which were sent out that people are receiving Kshs8,000. I wonder when the pastoralist’s communities would receive this money. I request the Committee to find a way to trickle this down to the chiefs, ward administrators and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) for them to assist in identifying all the elders that are supposed to benefit. We just received a 411 that says that COVID-19 Fund has raised Kshs1.2 billion, including Kshs10 million from media houses as part of the contribution. I will emphasis the issue of transparency. It is important for us to understand how this money will be spent. When we ask these questions, nobody wants to give us the answer. We have seen different counties coming up with different plans. It is important"
