    "content": "our children. We are also not willing to have comprehensive sex education in our schools. On top of it, we have heightened poverty levels in informal settlements. The young generation, that is supposed to look after the elderly, are having challenges because they have so many unplanned for children and are living in dire need in slums with no proper shelter. Recently, there was a fire in Lungalunga, where a factory burned down and there was no way to evacuate the people who could hardly even breathe. Again, this is costing the economy a lot. So, as we plan for housing, we should make sure that the houses we are going to build provide for the elderly, not only in terms of houses on the ground floor, but also by having places where they can congregate, be with each other, feel they are not neglected and are still of value. I see a lot of hue and cry every time an older person is given a job. But in all sincerity, even our old people deserve to be recognised as contributors to our economy because as long as they are alive, they have something to contribute. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
