"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also speak to the Statement from the Senator of Kitui County. It is a very important and crucial Statement that touches so many lives in this country. Concerning the drought issue, if nothing is done very soon, we are worried that we might lose many lives. We have already lost animals, but many people may die out of that drought due to famine. Former councilors have played a big role and sacrificed their lives for this country and were part of its second liberation. Unfortunately, they have been neglected by the successive governments. Today, they are aging and have no social welfare security such as health security. In this country, we already have counties which are functional and the processes are already on the ground. Therefore, it would be wise and fair enough to look into their welfare of those former councilors and even Members of Parliament (MP) who have failed to come back to Parliament, many of whom are still wallowing in poverty. It is high time that this House looked into the senior citizens who have a lot of problems. I support."
