Physically challenged person pushes strict enforcement of Disability Act  

Mr Richard Akari, a physically challenged person at the Techiman office of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) in the Bono East Region, has called for the enforcement of the Disability Act.

The Persons with Disability (PwDs) Act 2006 (Act 715) protects the rights of the PwDs with sections six and seven pushing their rights to accessing public places and services.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Techiman, Mr Akari regretted that the PwDs were confronted with challenges in accessing public offices, toilets and washrooms because of their unfriendly nature.
