    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The answer from Hon. Paul Koinange is not satisfactory. There is the COVID-19 Emergency Fund on which this House did not give an itemised budget. The Nyumba Kumi elders, during this time of cessation of movement, are the ones that identify strangers that have travelled from areas where there is cessation of movement, probably from Nairobi to Narok or other areas. They come into contact with them. There is also Ksh200 million which has been set aside to cushion the poor, the vulnerable and people living with disability. We have used the Nyumba Kumi elders to identify these particular groups. We have used them in the cash transfer programme. They are at risk. We can classify them as providers of essential services. If they have to go to every house to conduct identification of the vulnerable people that will benefit from the cash transfers and if they are the ones that come into contact with those who have travelled from epicentres of COVID-19, they are at risk. Since we did not itemise the COVID-19 Emergency Fund, it is the duty of Hon. Paul Koinange and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to make sure that the elders are at least given something to cater for the work they are doing. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
