"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this money has not reached many districts in this country. It is something that is just heard by people; they do not know about it and they have not touched it. It is important that the way this fund is distributed is looked into more objectively to avoid speculation or granting of favour to certain people at the expense of others. It is also gratifying that the Constitution has captured this particular component of providing for the elderly. It is so important that we ensure that this money is made available by the Government, so that the elderly, who are about 1.4 million â they are not many--- However, when you consider what they have done for this country, and what they mean to us, this amount of money should be made available the soonest possible. We have been told in this House that these elderly people have now turned to be the guardians of many children left behind by younger people affected by the HIV/AIDS scourge. Because of their age and decrease in their productivity, they are unable to provide for these children. This Motion addresses a very serious issue. What is of concern to me is the amount that we have proposed to give to the elderly people."
