"content": "make estimates and calculate, for example, if you give out Kshs3,000 each to every aged person per month, how will this affect the economy of this country in the next one year? However, I hope the Government will read in details what is being said here by Senators. The Government needs to accept that there is an immediate need to assist these people. On the issue of being senile and other facts which are being placed here, this is a sickness. We are not dealing with the issue of sickness here. We are dealing with people who are aged, who cannot, on their own, do anything for themselves. They need this country to support them because they brought the country to where it is. I find this Senate doing a commendable job by considering and thinking about the aged people. We should have a comprehensive policy which should be brought as a sessional paper. It should be prepared by the Ministry of Health and the Government as a whole. This sessional paper should be debated in this House and at the lower House. This will be a useful thing that our people will inherit from both the Senate and the National Assembly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support."
