"We cannot sideline those who have toiled for the betterment of this country just because they are now old, here in Keta and under my administration, it will never happen.
We must remember that the aged were once young and hard-working like we are currently, and we will also definitely become old one day, and so we need to respect and support them," Mr. Gemegah stressed.
