"content": "homes for the elderly above 70 years. So that we do not have to do cash transfers which are marred with a lot of irregularities and sometimes money getting lost. Sometimes, the elderly are very lonely because they love company and more particularly talking to their fellow men and women. In some areas they stay far away from each other and experience challenges. The young ones leave them alone and this increases their loneliness. So, homes for the elderly should be established in every constituency and we can set aside money from our budget to take care of them. In other countries, the caregivers are well paid and trained. I do not know why we cannot do the same. If we have managed to put aside money for the elderly, there is no reason why we cannot establish homes for them to be taken care of. Take note that these people are technically the chosen few by God. This is because for you to reach 70 or 80 years, you are actually among the chosen few. They form less than 10 per cent of the population of the country. So, it is only fair that they are well taken care of because they have very few years to live in this country."
