Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to ask my question. First, let me congratulate the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection on his appearance here. He has also appeared before the committees several times. However, before I ask my Question, I would like to say that the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury and Economic Planning has done wrong because there is no money in the counties. We have not paid our officers in the counties for the last three months because of non-release of funds from the Exchequer.

I will follow up with the concerned people on the ID numbers and the clarification. I will also make sure that they will come back to you.

Even as we do that, can they also be registered in the cash transfer programmes, especially the PWDs who are completely unable to do anything for themselves? The majority of them are blind. Those should be included in the cash transfers even if they are not at the age of 70 years. The Ministry should also consider the children.
