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 caucus wants Parliament to pass a new disability law quickly. Members also push for Ghana to sign the African Disability Protocol. 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. Disabled people face many problems in Ghana today. They cannot use many buildings or transportation systems. Some people treat them badly because they are different. Many cannot find good jobs or go to school. Healthcare services often fail to help them properly. The parliamentary group plans to teach people about disability issues. They want to give lawmakers a place to discuss these problems. The caucus supports laws that help disabled people participate in society. They work with disability organizations and other groups. Dr. Apaak represents Builsa South district in Parliament. The caucus focuses on making buildings accessible to everyone. They want better education and job opportunities for disabled people. The group pushes for improved healthcare and social services.
