    "content": "benefit out of the social programme. It is not expensive to ask Kenyans, through this honourable House, to support their elderly people. Even on relief food, if we map the areas where people are suffering from hunger and give them money from the cash transfer programme, they can buy their own food. There will be no need of fuelling lorries every other time and allowing corruption to thrive even as we try to help the people of Kenya to live a dignified life. This is in line with the Kenya Kwanza’s Manifesto, especially where it says that the Kenya Kwanza Government will register all elderly persons in the new National Health Insurance Fund platform. This is a Motion that calls for additional resources to the State Department for Social Protection so that we can increase the numbers from the one million that we are projecting this year to two million persons thus guaranteeing a minimum of 10,000 persons in each of the 290 constituencies. The programme, before, was skewed to areas which were politically correct. It is time to call for fairness. The elderly of Kenya deserve attention in an equal manner. I support the Motion."
