Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. This issue of cash transfer is a thorn in our flesh despite the fact that the Government had very good intentions for the older persons in our society. The older persons in our society have been neglected. Some of their children have migrated to the cities leaving them in abject poverty. The Government had very good intentions. Imagine Kshs30 billion meant for food alone.

You can imagine Kshs30 billion is only meant for food. All those who are registered for cash transfer are under the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). So, they are covered in hospitals. The Kshs30 billion would have created a lot of impact in our country if it was sent on time to the relevant persons. However, some rogue clerks are corrupt and are stealing this money. There is a case in Samburu where somebody had a balance of Kshs20,000. When he went to the paying centre, he was asked to sign a piece of paper and was given Kshs8,000. When ...

I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection the following: (a) How are the beneficiaries under the Kenya National Safety Net Programme (NSNP) identified?

(c) Could the Ministry consider using other means of cash transfers, including mobile money transfer services, bank transfers and other efficient money transfer technologies to ease the cost and time spent by the beneficiaries in accessing the funds?

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion whose time has come. We should ask ourselves a few pertinent questions. One of the most important questions is: Why do riots and burning of schools always happen just before exams? Is it because students panic? Are they following the footsteps of their role models who are the teachers? Whenever they are just about to do their exams that is when trade unionists, including those in the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), threaten to go on strike. Are our students ...

Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not impute that the teachers are misbehaving.

I just said that our students are with their teachers for nine months in a year. If that will massage your ego, then I withdraw. In Luke 17:2, it states that those who lead the young ones astray should be killed. A huge stone should be tied around their necks and thrown into the depths of the sea.
