Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether you are in the same category as me. Anytime I go to the county and hold a meeting, all the old people in that meeting stand and ask: “When will we be paid our stipend that the Government approved?” They show you an example of one of them who gets this money and looks healthier than the rest. I think that this programme is very healthy because it is like we are caring for the people who mattered most when they were young. For this reason, I want to seek more clarification as to when we are rolling out this programme fully in all the constituencies. Sen. (Dr.) Kuti has talked about constituencies. However, I am talking about districts, locations, sub-locations and villages. These are the people who walk with the history of the Republic of Kenya. If we can continue being with them for a long time in this world, the better. Could we know when this can be done, so that I can have a very good answer to tell these citizens whenever I go home?"}
