    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this allocation. However, I witness a lot of problems in the villages within my constituency with regard to the elderly. Many of them are not getting the stipends. I would urge the Department to look at a possibility of even incorporating Members of Parliament into their committees so that we can help by giving them the names of those old people in the villages. This will allow the elderly to benefit from those allocations. I also want to echo what my colleagues have said on delays of the issuance of the stipends. When they go to collect the money, they are kept waiting. Sometimes they do not get the money and go home. Those old people go with walking sticks and clubs. It is very painful when you see them suffering. I, therefore, urge the Ministry to involve Members of Parliament in taking care of those elderly people. With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support. Thank you."
