Yes, I agree. Get rid of the conditions and pay people directly through bank transfers. The public should push for a basic income in developed countries also.

A universal basic income would provide a safety net for entrepreneurs and make it easier for people to pursue education or high risk ventures. It would eliminate vast numbers of bureaucrats and lawyers from programs like US Disability. $1.5 billion was spent on disability lawyers in 2010 (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203518404577096632862007046.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020351840457709...) Governments could pay for a universal basic income with pollution taxes. The overall program would be revenue neutral. People would be discouraged from wasting energy (e.g. gasoline) to do low value work.
