    "content": "They will learn how such homes are run, what is expected to be done and how we can start implementing it. There is a documentary I saw on YouTube last Thursday of a home in Thogoto. We could also look at it and see what the home is doing. I congratulate the people running it because I was really impressed. We can implement some of their programmes that are good. The faith community can contribute a lot in this area. Most of them have homes. We know the Catholic Church in Huruma has one, we have others elsewhere and we need to see what they are doing and where we need to improvise. I saw a Sister from Huruma saying they do not have medication. Maybe that is where the national and county governments need to come in with universal healthcare and make sure that such homes have enough medication. It is very important to offer these elderly people an environment where they can be comfortable, so that they can impart to others the knowledge that they have gained over the years in their professions. I had an encounter with Maruge who was an elderly student, when I was the Assistant Minister for Education. I took him to New York for the United Nations (UN) Conference and it was amazing how he was able to communicate to the Assembly. He was really praised. They noted that this was unique to Kenya. These are talents we can tap from our old people; they can help us and we can help them. They have a wealth of experience that they can give to the society. I support the Bill and urge the Committee to come up with other views to boost the Bill. We should identify how to fund this Bill otherwise, it will end up on the shelves like so many other Bills, whereas it is a good Bill. I support."
