    "content": "an old mzee called Kiprugut from my village, he makes rungus and mats which he sells and adds to the little he gets. I want to appreciate those who have put these little monies into good use. I am a bit concerned about the caregivers because some of them use this little money meant for the elderly. They request or demand them to pay their fees. So, it is like they are being paid for being caregivers. I am calling upon our people to give these elderly people space to enjoy the little given to them by the Government. In any case, the aim or objective of this money is to give an opportunity to their caregivers to go to work or school since the elderly have been cushioned. Also, to break inter-generational poverty. That is why they are provided with some little money. So, I urge this House to strongly support our people by passing this Motion. We know there are other vulnerable groups like people living with disabilities who can be the elderly, orphans, single mothers and widows. These people need our attention and the many responsibilities they are given should be lifted from them. In essence, I support this Motion. The chiefs should register those who are not registered and those concerned should lift burdens from these elderly people. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support. I want to add that this money should not be stolen from the elderly. Thank you."
