    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure you know Kapsowar and Embobut. Many Senators here may not know the place, but you worked in my county. In order to ensure that this process becomes easy, one person should go to pay 100 people, rather than 100 people chasing payment at the headquarters. These are some of the suggestions that the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare will have to get back to the Ministry when the questions are brought here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of persons 70 years and above, the implementation has not started but the registration has been done. This means that persons aged 70 years and above will, as of right from a policy position, be entitled to this money. The challenge is that there were people aged 65 years who were on the waiting list, knowing that come the next financial year, when it is enhanced, they would be beneficiaries. We will pray for those people to reach 70 years so that they become beneficiaries. However, if you look at the answer that we have been given by the Cabinet Secretary, there are people less or above 60 years but benefit from funds related to disability, severe poverty or from other systems. However, for the elderly people, so that everybody can get it, it is now been pegged on 70 years. I had asked the Cabinet Secretary for East Africa Community, Labour and Social Protection this question before; whether those who were already benefiting from 65 years will continue with it to the end. However, the new registration will only be 70 years and above."
