DISABLED PERSONS CRY FOR GOVT POSITIONS

PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema has been urged to consider appointing qualified persons with disabilities to serve as nominated Mem-bers of Parliament (MP).

Zambia Federation of Disability Organizations (ZAFOD) and the Disability Rights Watch (DRW) said the new administration should have more persons with disabilities serving in decision-making positions.

The two organizations expressed concern that matters pertaining to persons with disabilities have over the years ended with pronounce-ments which are never supported with meaningful actions.
