    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The elderly are vulnerable people. the Jubilee Government brought a wonderful idea in terms of giving cash transfers to the elderly. On the National Super Alliance Party (NASA) side, we had made it better. We had not only talked about the elderly, but had also included single mothers who cannot manage to raise their children. As we move on, we should incorporate single mothers. This is as far as the NASA Manifesto is concerned. Now that we have the handshake, it is high time we borrowed from each other. Some of the elderly persons spend Kshs500 to go to the paying centres. By the time they go back home, Kshs1000 is gone. The money becomes useless. We should think outside the box. If the cash transfer can be done through mobile phones, it can be good. You will get your money while in your kitchen. As we move on, when we want to operationalise this Executive directive we should come up with a Bill, not just a Motion. I want to request Hon. Washiali to move ahead although I had started drafting something on the elderly cash transfers. Once we have a Bill, it is going to have effect The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
