Elderly people in Homa Bay county
have urged the government to increase the Sh2,000 they receive to Sh10,000 due
to high cost of living.
Homa Bay Subcounty Retirees and
Pensioners Sacco secretary Henry Odeko urged the Jubilee government to honour
its promise of improving retirement benefits.
He said the elderly have
difficulties in paying school fees, medical cover and transport expenses.
Speaking in Homa Bay town on
Wednesday, Odeko said the money should be released between the 25th
and 30th of every month.
