    "content": "which has brought a lot of excitement and problems. When I go to my constituency, for example, there are those wazees who have applied, but unfortunately the Government did not have enough money to cater for them. So, some were given and others were not given. If such a fund is going to be in place, it is going to help the wazees who did not qualify. They only provided for Kshs500,000 for the entire country. Research has shown that we have more than 2 million Kenyans aged 65 years and above. So, what will Kshs500,000, do: where will the others go? When we have this fund in place, it is going to complement the efforts that the Government is putting in place to help the elderly by providing some stipend for survival. I want to thank hon. H. Njuguna for bringing this Motion. I wish to encourage him that after we pass the Motion, he should go further and come up with a Bill. Once a Bill comes to the House, it will help the Government when it comes to the allocation of funds, so that we can have this Fund in place. I support the Motion."
