    "content": "process?” The elderly who receive pension are not part of those that have been captured in this Motion. In the wisdom of the sponsor of the Motion, it is upon us to support and ask the county assemblies to tailor make their own legislations and policies when they are doing budgetary allocations. We have witnessed situations where governors spend extravagantly to buy fuel, newspapers, flowers, mandazi and chai in their offices. If we can cut on those expenses, we can support our elderly. You get a governor having a fleet of vehicles that consume a lot of fuel. What is the need for that if we can allow that money to be used for such novel issues? I celebrate many Kenyans, the Catholic church, a number of religious organizations, private individuals and organizations who have started programmes to assist the elderly. We need to celebrate them because there is nothing worse than to be an elderly, alone, sick and without food yet they have given their best years for the development and creation of the wealth and foundation of this Republic. Apart from creating a cash transfer programme, we also need to relook into the issue of housing in this legislation. I hope that we can make these resolutions. How can we ensure that the elderly have decent housing?"
