"content": "First, instead of saying that we establish a few nursing units for the aged in every hospital, my proposal would be to amend the Motion and provide for expanding the current cash transfer programme for the elderly persons to cover all the needy persons aged over 65 years within the next five years. Two, provide free NHIF coverage for all elderly persons, who are currently receiving the cash transfer with immediate effect. These old people say: âI have this money which I can use for food, but if I am sick, I cannot afford medical careâ. We can tomorrow give these people the NHIF card for free. It will not cost much. Three, we must expedite the completion and the implementation of the national social protection policy as well as the national policy on older persons. The two are in the process and the Jubilee Government must do this during its current tenure. It may not have another tenure after the next five years. With those suggested amendments, I support this Motion."
