    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Member of the Committee, I was given a task of saying something about The Pandemic Response and Management Bill. However, time will not allow. So, I will do that next time. I want to respond to the issue that has been raised by, my good friend, Senator for Narok County. We had a meeting yesterday with the CS for Labour, Social Security and Services. He informed us that the short message (SMS) that is sent to our senior citizens about Kshs8,000 is a backlog of Kshs2,000 that is due to be paid to the elderly citizens every two months. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we raised the issue of the danger that our senior citizens are exposed to of being told to go banks where there is a lot of crowding. In fact, I raised a concern about what happened in Nyamira and Keroka yesterday where people were rained on. They were told to wait outside as they were called one by one to receive the money. We agreed with the CS that going forward, they should be paying these citizens using the alphabetical order. For example, those whose names begin with A-B, on Monday and C-D on Tuesday, so that we do not have a situation of over-crowding in the banks"
