    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to stand in support of this Motion by Hon. Nzambia. The elderly people in our society are very important to us because they are our parents and grandparents. They are full of wisdom so they advise us and our youth. I stand to support this Motion on cash transfer which is very important because it cushions the elderly from poverty and hunger with the aim of improving their lives. It is very interesting that the people who get this stipend come from very humble backgrounds and maybe have never earned even a shilling in their lives. So, this stipend given by the Government is very important to them. Having said that, the elderly people are very important and it is interesting that some of them take care of their children and grandchildren. In as much as it is beautiful to take care of children and grandchildren, sometimes they are burdened. So, this initiative will assist them in improving their lives. Unfortunately, some of them live in bad houses, eat unbalanced food and wear torn clothes. If possible, with time, the Ksh2,000 they get as stipend should be increased so it can be of great help to them. I want to appreciate some of them like Esther and Leah from my county. These two women have invested the Ksh2,000 in small businesses. They are artisans who decorate calabashes and make beads to sell. This way they have increased their little income.
