    "content": "Sorry about that, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You look alike. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this increasing number of elderly people needs to be planned for. We need to plan now and make sure that they are kept within organized community structures. The major problem that most of these people face is poverty. The poverty level in this country is high and being marginalized because of their age, they will be faced more with hunger, disease and all the challenges that face poor people. But their elderly nature also exposes them to diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes. These are common among the elderly. Therefore, they will also need improved medical care made available for them. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the elderly get out of active life, they become lonely and depressed. On top of the hunger and other challenges that they have, the fact that they have fallen out of their social activities, makes them very much exposed to early death. You will realize that many people who retire, especially from active Government or political life, die faster than those who actually have been surviving among the communities. This is because when they retire, they lose that active life and network among the communities. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
