Mutuuzo Peace\nRegis, the Bill whose sole aim is to enhance the protection and realization of\nolder persons\u2019 rights, has already had its Principles passed by Cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA\ndraft Bill has now been developed for consideration by Cabinet. As a Ministry,\nwe are going to expedite this process to ensure that the Bill is passed into\nlaw to protect Older Persons from abuse.\u201d Mutuuzo said, adding that there would\nbe punitive penalties for perpetuators of the vices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was speaking at the commemoration of the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day that was held at\nMukono District headquarters on Saturday, June 15, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Day was sanctioned by the United Nations to\nspecifically reflect on the challenges that older\npersons persistently face especially in realization of their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nMinister noted that while older persons are pivotal in resolving conflicts,\ninculcating discipline among the young and custodians of our rich traditions\nand as grandparents, they are often abused in various forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany Older Persons are suffering neglect and\nisolation as they have no caregivers while others have lost their property\nincluding land to unscrupulous people. This should stop. Older persons need our\ncare and protection,\u201d Mutuuzo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Day was marked under the theme: \u201c\u2018<strong><em>Older\nPersons\u2019 Economic Empowerment: A Prerequisite to Autonomy and Independence.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme sought to emphasize the need to economically\nempower older persons to enable them lead independent lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister revealed that research findings from the\nSituation of Older persons in Uganda conducted by the Ministry in 2018 showed\nthat Older Persons remain active beyond the retirement age and are engaged in\neconomic activities because many of them are household heads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTherefore, their engagement in income generating\nactivities reduces their dependence on relatives and creates autonomy among\nolder persons since they are in position to make choices about their wellbeing.\u201d\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Mutuuzo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She noted that the Government\nhas put in place the necessary legal and policy frameworks to promote the\nrights of the older persons although challenges remain in implementation and\nrealization of their purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\ncited the monthly cash transfers that Government extends to older persons through\nthe Expanding Social Protection Programme as one of the avenues intended to\nuphold rights of older persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"
