    "content": "are in the field disbursing our bursaries, the old wazees visit us in our homes or they come to our offices thinking that Members of Parliament are supposed to be the ones giving out money from the cash transfer programme. I urge Hon. Members to push the Government to make sure there is continuous registration of elderly persons at sub-county levels, especially at the chiefs’ offices. I am talking about those who have attained 65 years of age, so that we have all elderly persons benefiting from the programme. With regard to the records, I suggest that those who have died be replaced. There must be monitoring of data from village to sub-county levels where we have constituency offices. I think we can have a programme where our staff work with the sub-county officers from the national Government right away from the grassroots, from the assistant chiefs to chiefs, so that we can identify all who have not been registered yet they have attained the age of 65 years. We will then ensure smooth running of the registration. I now open the Motion to Members, so that they can deliberate on it. Before that, I call upon Hon. Parashina to second the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
