"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support Sen. Nyamunga’s Motion on the cash transfer programme for our elderly. I would like to draw the attention of the country to older members of the society. Article 57 of the Constitution states that- “The State shall take measures to ensure the rights of older persons— (a) to fully participate in the affairs of society; (b) to pursue their personal development; (c) to live in dignity and respect and be free from abuse; and (d) to receive reasonable care and assistance from their family and the State. Sen. Nyamunga’s Motion seeks to implement Article 57 to ensure that what is in our broad laws is broken down to what we do on a daily basis. Additionally, it also seeks to implement Article 43, where our Constitution guarantees every citizen, including the elderly, the right to good standards of health."
