    "content": "the vulnerable, helps God.” The Government should be the first authority to lead by example. I am aware that there have been all these cash transfers to the elderly, but I can assure you that that process, including even cash transfers to the disabled, orphans and the widowed, has not been managed effectively. I think statistics in Kenya show that less than 30 per cent of the elderly receive the cash transfers. That is based on the figures in my constituency. There are so many senior citizens, respected elderly men and women, who are dying of hunger because they do not work, they cannot farm and have no income. Only a few are blessed with children who can support them. If you do not have children who can support you, you are just waiting to die. Let the Government not preach wine and drink water. Let the Government preach water and drink water. I support these protocols if they are going to be managed in a fair manner so that all the elderly people in Kenya and the disabled who need our help, orphans and the most vulnerable people, receive Government support. I support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
