    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a Bill that we are seeking to repeal. Hon. Millie Odhiambo, I understand what is happening here. Even as we repeal the Bill, it does not mean that the Social Assistance Fund will disappear. It means that the Social Assistance Fund will still be there to assist vulnerable persons in our society. I wanted to pass the message to the Ministry responsible that severely disabled persons are persons we cannot economically empower. They are persons who do not have any opportunity to better their lives, unlike older persons who at one time were strong enough to better their lives. It beats all logic to have close to one million older persons in the register and only 42,000 persons with severe disability. It should have been the other way round because most vulnerable members of our society are persons with severe disability, and not older persons."
