"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The essence of the amendment is to give a broader coverage to the well being of the elderly persons. Therefore, the first part of the amendment is to extend the cash transfer to cover all persons within the next five years; we want to give coverage as has been requested by many hon. members; let us remove discrimination. Secondly, it is to make provision for free healthcare in Government facilities through NHIF programme; it is not only in Government but even in the private facilities where there is full coverage; these elderly people need to, at least, access some kind of healthcare. Thirdly, is to implement the two policies that we are working on; if implemented they will cover all elderly persons. I am talking of the national policy on elderly and aging persons, and two, the national social protection policy. With those amendments, we will adequately take care of the well-being of the elderly. Thank you."
