    "content": "It is very important that we devolve this function from the national level, where it takes time. Some even die during the long process without the benefits too. I support this Motion. It is important for us to identify that these individuals are at risk and need self-sufficient support. They need to be comforted and assisted with the community and the Government. When it comes to medical care, they are prone to chronic diseases. Many of them, regardless of which area they come from, are prone to insecurity, chronic diseases and are lonely. This is because they no longer live with their relatives. They are left to survive on their own. It is survival for the fittest. If the Government comes in through the county governments, supports them and have a realistic programme that will reach each and every one of them, then it shall be fair to them. Everyone will want to live and age well. Technology is growing every day with changes in software, unlike when we used to have hard copies. When the elderly age, they become blind and cannot read and write. Some cannot even speak. They are supposed to have devices to help them communicate to the right people. By doing this, we will be protecting them from fraud using technology. I heard some complaints during my visits to the counties. Looking at the equal opportunities that are given to this particular class of people, it is very hard. You will find somebody, probably the next of kin, trying to influence so that they get the benefits. It is good that we have this Motion."
