    "content": "This Bill has come at the right time. We cannot leave our senior citizens behind as we move forward because they gave birth to us, fought for our freedom, educated us and worked for us. They are farmers and civil servants, among others. Those people are the foundation of our society. Therefore, Article 57 of our Constitution recognises their rights just like any other Kenyan citizen. Having benefited from them, the right thing to do is to give them comfort in their last days on earth. This Bill will improve the living conditions of our elderly citizens. We all come from rural areas and urban centres and this population is not treated rightly. We are talking of civil servants, members of Parliament, teachers and others. This is a strong demographic of Kenyans who need attention in terms of medical facilities and feeding programmes. They also need to be recognised by the society and the Government. They also need social comfort."
