"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has come out clearly to say that there is a shortfall of over 60,000 teachers, but there was no mention of that. The Minister was also silent on something that we hoped he would mention; there was something that was started last year - the social responsibility towards the elderly. Forty constituencies or districts were chosen. We have been told that the programme has not moved very well. We would like the Minister to address that seriously because you cannot pilot the elderly. The elderly exist everywhere! You can only pilot where you do not have enough sample. But since you have the elderly in every constituency, the Minister should not have been silent. We want him to come out clearly and tell us how all the elderly men and women of this country will be assisted to have the Kshs1,500 per month. That cannot be a pilot programme. We agree with the Minister for Fisheries Development that there was need to pilot on fisheries because not everybody knows how to deal with it. But you cannot pilot on elderly people because they exist everywhere. All of them are deserving Kenyans and all of them need to be given. So, I hope in the response, he will address the issue on how he is going to take care of the remaining elderly people who are not allocated any funding."
