    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. What I want to raise is that I went to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and raised issues that concerned Gem Constituency. I was given an assurance by the then Minister that pragmatic steps would be taken, so that members of my constituency who are above 70 years are put in that bracket. To date, nothing has been done. When I reflected on it, I thought that probably that was a public relations exercise. I hope when the Minister comes, it will not be another public relations exercise like what I was taken through. They need to come up with pragmatic steps to help the aged members of our society. As you have rightfully put it, our brothers who are here like Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi can also benefit. Thank you."
