Jacqueline Mbabazi said the 2024 census recorded about 2.3 million older persons, expected to rise to roughly 2.6 million in the following years, expressing concern that many support large households despite limited resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister, who also doubles as the MP for older persons in Parliament, noted that older persons should also benefit from the Parish Development Model (PDM), taking a portion of 10 percent of the Shs100 million allocated to each parish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She further announced that the government is expected to expand the Social Assistance Grant by increasing the benefit to Shs35,000 for Empowerment by reducing the eligibility age from 80 to 65, hopefully by the next financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hon. Jacqueline Mbabazi stressed that the government is considering medical insurance for older persons, possibly using part of the SAGE grant for premiums once the monthly payment rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cue in: Minister on health.
