PEOPLE living with disabilities have urged Parliament to speed up the enactment of an updated law that addresses their concerns.

The National Disability Bill, which is supposed to replace an Act promulgated in 1992, is currently before the August House.,

Speaking during a ceremony to hand over wheelchairs and other items to people with disabilities, founding director of the Faith, Love and Hope Community Trust Mr Terrence Nyamazana said, “We are appealing to Parliament to speed up the enactment of the National Disability Policy into an Act so that people living with disabilities do not lag behind in the active participation of the economy, as well as ensuring that their rights are protected and needs are met.”
