    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I would like to second the amendment. I support the amendment because we need to have a timeframe. The Government must have a time line to implement this Motion. As I support the Motion, I am a Member of Parliament where one location is benefiting from that money. As a Member of Parliament, the first challenge I am faced with is to answer why that location is benefitting and when the others will get. I am put to task to explain a decision which I do not know how it was arrived at. When I look at the benefitting location as opposed to those which are not benefiting, the economic status is the same. If it was a pilot project, it should have been applied in the whole constituency, covering all the old people rather than picking one area and giving it money. The Government has not come up with a programme to pay the other locations. So, this is a good idea. However, the implementation process is wrong. It needs to be changed so that it can cover a complete area. I support the Motion for the sake of people who are over 60 years. I also second the amendment. As I second the amendment, it is very important to say that a decision which has already been made should be implemented recognizing the cost of living in this country. You do not know what the price of kimbo, kerosene or soap will be tomorrow. That is because the prices are changing every day. It is critical that everything is done to pay money to people who are over"
