"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to comment on both Petitions. In regards to the first Petition, it is timely. What is of great concern is that the people of Kangaita, Kirinyaga Central have not been consulted. Public participation is extremely important. Before we do anything or undertaken any development or projects, we should discuss with the local people so that we know what is best for them. I, therefore, agree with Hon. Munene Wambugu that this should be investigated, and a solution found. As to the second Petition by the Hon. Member for Busia, it is vitally important that this country takes its senior citizens seriously. It is a pity. I go to Bima House to pursue cases for my constituents and I meet elderly people moving up and down trying to find out how far their pension process has reached. It is high time we gave them priority to have access to their money. Our senior citizens ought to lead decent lives. It is timely, and we should get a good report from the Committee so that we are able to talk to the Ministry. Thank you."
