At a time when most young people her age are glued to social media fun and other distractions, Yvette Bonareri has been busy drafting a Bill which if passed by Parliament will compel children and relatives of any elderly person to have a portion of their earnings deducted to take care of their patriarchs and matriarchs.

The Bill is also proposing to make it mandatory for any person entitled to inherit the properties of their parents or guardians to compensate them the equivalent amount of the properties while they are still alive.
