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) 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...

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) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to get clarity about the committee the Cabinet Secretary insinuated exists. What is the composition of that committee? We would like to know that. I have been a Member of Parliament for the last 25 years, but I do not...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Hon. Speaker, just a rider to that one.

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. There are different people who do the registration and we can interact with them because beneficiaries are very many. Once we know the people...

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the people of Kinango Constituency, I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary Question No.190/2023. Could the Cabinet Secretary:

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, while I appreciate what the Cabinet Secretary has stated, could she state what caused delays in this disbursement knowing that the beneficiaries are not on any payroll, but depend on these funds for their survival, and that they live in arid and...

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

Hon. Gonzi Rai (Kinango, PAA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The second question was on when the Government will resume fresh registration under this programme. 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) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have a quick question. There is tension in Makamini Dam because there was a disclosure that the National Land Commission (NLC) was supposed to send valuers by 30th June. Today is 5th July. The situation on the ground is very...
