Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there are persons involved in registration of these persons. Those who identify these people cannot be the beneficiaries.

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why civil servants in Kinango Constituency are not eligible for hardship allowance like teachers in the same constituency and what steps the...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with the Cabinet Secretary, but my concern is that this Question was directed to the Cabinet Secretary eight weeks ago. Why did she wait all this time only to come and say that it belongs to another ministry?...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Not really.

The Cabinet Secretary has already indicated that she will increase the number of beneficiaries by 500,000. When will the Government resume fresh registration so that...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, first I appreciate what the Cabinet Secretary is doing in this Ministry. The concern I want to raise is that, in view of the fact that we come from ASAL areas, when there are these kinds of delays, we need some mechanisms...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, we know the Cabinet Secretary has plans to increase the number of persons, but we want to know when the programme is starting. We do not want to be told at the end of the year when the programme has already been...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, what we need is clarity. The answer we are always getting is about those who are benefitting already. We are talking about the committee that is mandated to determine who qualifies and who does not. We have been told to go and...

Naye akajiongezea Katiba. Kile kilichotengenezwa...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Kwanza, nashukuru Mhe. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipatia nafasi hii. Baada ya kupewa likizo na wananchi 2017, ilipofika 2022, waliona kwamba hili Bunge linakosa wazee.
