    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me another chance so that I speak on this very important Sessional Paper. I would think that Kenyans would be very happy if after 46 years of independence, the aging and older persons are to be remembered. It is therefore, a very important Sessional Paper that should be given the necessary support. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I note that a council will be formulated. It will be managing the funding for this facility. The money that is likely to be allocated to the same, will amount to about Kshs130 million. I would, therefore, think that the members of this council must be people with a heart of patriotism. They should be people who would sacrifice and consider the welfare of other people. That council will be constituted of people appointed from the all the regions of this nation. The aging people in this nation and old people have been neglected for so long. One segment that has been neglected are those who liberated this country. These are people who sacrificed their lives to make sure that this country is liberated. They have been forgotten. Some of them have no food, shelter or health care. Therefore, with the passage of this very important Sessional Paper, we will carter for the needs of these people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, clear criteria should be developed so that liars will not be considered for this very important innovation. There are people in this nation who are young but when you look at them they look very old and would be considered for this scheme. The lazy people who look aged will not be given recognition to enjoy this facility. I would therefore, think it is high time this Sessional Paper is given due attention and support. With those few remarks, I fully support."
