"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my name is Abass Mohamed, Member for Wajir East. I rise to support the Motion. As you are aware, as a result of improved health services, this countryâs lifespan is increasing to above 60 years. Many of our people are getting old, but there is no help for them. Besides that, due to the economic constraints and housing problems, the old people are neglected especially in urban areas. There is also westernization that has come to our country, and most of us are not taking care of our parents. In addition to that, the people who served this nation all those years and fought hard for our Independence are today neglected. The Government is paying them peanuts, and they cannot even house themselves. The pensioners are not paid on time, nor are they paid enough. When everybody elseâs salaries are increased, pensions are not increased; if it is increased, the increment is too small. Therefore, I support the Motion that we need to start nursing homes to take care of those who served this country, namely our fathers and mothers."
