    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On Wednesday, 22nd April 2020, the Member for Wundanyi, Hon Dan Mwashako, sought a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2c) from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, regarding implementation of the National Safety Net Program (NSNP) administered by the State Department for Social Protection. In particular, the Member sought information regarding the following: The measures the Ministry is putting in place to ensure all vulnerable persons particularly the elderly above the age of 70 years are included in the programme. Mechanisms being employed to ensure social distancing rules are observed during the current payment cycle to protect the elderly from contracting COVID-19 and other contagious diseases. The number of eligible beneficiaries who have been in the programme since 2017, but are currently omitted due to aforementioned technicalities, and when the affected persons will be reinstated in the programme. Hon. Speaker, I confirm that the Ministry received an Exchequer of Kshs8.7 billion for 1,094,239 regular beneficiaries of Inua Jamii for the period January-April 2020. These are the beneficiaries that the Ministry has successfully migrated from the card to account based mode of payment. They are distributed as follows: 766,254 older persons to receive Kshs6,132,680,000, 293,967 orphans and vulnerable persons to receive Kshs2,351,968,000 and 34,017 severely disabled persons to receive Kshs272,228,000."
