    "content": " Hon. Nyikal, you have raised a constitutional issue but you are not telling us whether those provisions in the Constitution conferring rights to elderly persons are subject to restrictions or limitations under Article 24 of the Constitution. I assure you they are subject to limitation. One limitation is found in the law setting the retirement age of everybody in spite of those provisions of the Constitution saying that you shall not discriminate a person on account of age. The law setting retirement age puts it at 60 years and 65 years for persons living with disability. I assure you that the House is not offending any law by debating and making a determination on this matter. Hon. Members, Hon. Chepkong’a had stood on Standing Order 95."
