    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, societies continue to evolve. Culturally, as a people, we still thrive on dependency model of family dwellings where you know by the time you are 50 or 60 years, you have taken your kids to school and are, therefore, working. Each time you are sick, they are able to send you money. The truth of the matter is, as society continues to evolve – we can learn this from other democracies or countries that are older than us – people will get to a point where they no longer care. It will come to a point where it is possible that you are 70, your children are working and they are comfortable but they do not just give a damn about you. It is the truth. It has happened in other jurisdictions. The same could be possible about us. Much as our African culture at the moment at least has a good social safety net where the elderly are well taken care of, as we make this legislation, it is good to remember that society is moving towards a place where people need to know that they do not have to depend on others for them to survive."
