Sh2,000 not enough, say the elderly



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.
