Dr. Clement Apaak spoke to Parliament Thursday during National Day for Persons with Disability. He urged fellow members to join the Parliamentary Caucus on Disability. The group works to help disabled citizens across the country. Apaak said lawmakers should create laws that include disabled people.

The group gives lawmakers a place to talk about disability issues. They work to make sure disabled people have the same chances as everyone else. The caucus helps write policies that protect disabled citizens.
