    "content": "On consolidated cash transfer programme management information system, the last concern was raised by Mheshimiwa Mwashako. This was on when the affected persons will be reinstated. The Ministry is planning to undertake Phase III migration, but this has been hampered by inadequate funding to the programme. For the entire 2019/2020 Financial Year, as indicated above, they have had a budgetary deficit of Kshs3.9 billion as direct transfer across the Inua Jamii Programme. If this amount can be provided in the Financial Year 2020/2021, the Ministry shall be in position to reinstate all elderly persons above the age of 70 years, so that they start receiving their stipend from the July/August 2020 payment circle. This is a critical segment of the programme given that they were previously receiving cash transfer stipend and they are out now. They are not receiving. In conclusion, allow me to brief and update the House on a matter that is closely related to the issue raised by Hon. Mwashako, particularly touching on the additional Kshs10 billion already allocated to the Mnistry and to be regularised by the House through the Second Supplementary Estimates 2019/2020, which is currently before the House. This is a laudable move by the Government, but must be implemented with caution to ensure that Kenyans get value for their taxes. The Kshs10 billion has been allocated as one of the measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable and is to be executed through a multi-agency approach The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
