    "content": "are gathered nothing can go wrong.” This is because traditional African societies placed a premium and gave so much respect to older members of the society. Unfortunately, that has waned off with the emerging trends of the world being competitive and everybody wanting to push ahead in life, such that as you get old, nobody thinks about you. With the passage of this law, we will return this premium to the older members of society, where they will be respected and treated with dignity. They will also offer us the solution to challenges we face in society. One can decide to quietly live their life if nobody cares about them despite the fact that they might have solutions to the challenges that the society continues to face. This happens when they feel that nobody respects them or gives them the stature that is required. Sadly, that is how many members of society have chosen to live. Nonetheless, if we give them their place of pride in society, they can address the intertribal conflicts in the country such as the ones that we have in Nakuru and Isiolo. If we had a law and framework for older members of society to be respected, be given a place to gather and their place of pride in society, we would not be having that kind of conflict. With those many remarks, I urge Senators to enrich debate on the contents of this Bill. They should feel free to contribute ways in which we can make it better so as to give our older members of society a law that they can be proud of. I beg to move and call upon Sen. Dullo to second."
