    "content": "the motto “ Kazi kwa vijana, pesa kwa wazee ” was coined because of the malpractices involved in the whole programme. We would not want something like that to happen again. Once this Motion progresses into a Bill and finally into an Act of Parliament, anybody who is over 35 years old should be able to access the funds. I would request the Government that, once the Bill is enacted into law, they create a single Fund, and not differentiate between youth fund and women fund, and an old people’s fund and kazi kwa vijana fund. We should have a single fund with little bureaucracy, so that people can access the money. Definitely, men aged over 35 years should access this money promptly. Those are people who can do a lot for our country. I would like to remind my friends that this initiative will go a long way in helping hon. Members who may unsuccessfully vie for parliamentary seats in the future. Such Members, including my predecessor, can access the proposed fund in the future. With those remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
