"content": "Presbyterian Church of East Africa in a Parish called Muhito. They are taking care of many orphans including 36 of them who are in a youth polytechnic. They are clothing and feeding them. Now, they have invited partners including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Afya Two Programme for full tuition cover, so that those orphans can realize opportunities in life. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is need for us to appreciate that there are old people who may appear a little better off because they have had an opportunity of formal employment and engagement and they are doing a lot of good things. I would like to recognize the work that is being done in this country by the retired Olympians, who recently brought to the fore a historic marathon which is being hosted at the end of this month in the historic Maasai Mara Reserve. These are individuals who have had the opportunity to represent Kenya in Olympics in various continents and have big names. They have also been managing Olympics in Beijing and the World Championships in Berlin this year. They are now coming back to give to Kenya the best deal and advice. The best investment that this Tenth Parliament can give is that recognition, empowerment and ring-fencing our old people, so that they can be the granary where we go to seek wisdom and pick the grains that will correct us when we go wrong. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion because it deserves our total endorsement."
