    "content": "money, they ended up spending it on their health. When you go to the rural areas where this money has been given, you will realise that it has changed lifestyles of the elderly people in our society because they are able to access decent living and put decent meals on their tables. Food and health go hand in hand. This is because if somebody is not well fed, then in addition to having nutritional deficiencies, that person could also be subjected to other ailments. There are many people going into old age in the counties where we have this social protection. If you look at the population strata, you will find that majority of the population are within the elderly bracket. However, if you look at our setup, you will find that the lifespan is about 55 years for males and 58 to 60 years for females. If you go to the developed world, you will find people live to up to 90 or 100 years. Majority of the people there are over 80 years. This is because of the provision of the social protection within their setup. To me, this is a timely sessional paper. We need to support it and it should not be at the level in which it is. It must go beyond that so that at the stage of implementation, we make sure that it is implemented and those who give out whatever services must also minimise corruption. This is because when corruption is eliminated, any coin that is meant for the development of the social protection will either go to the Uwezo Fund or cash transfers. With those few remarks, I support this sessional paper."
