The Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations (GFD) has called on President John Mahama to appoint qualified Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) into government and across Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies.
It said that would be a demonstration of his commitment to disability inclusion in the country.
A statement signed by Mr Joseph Atsu Homadzi, National President, GFD, mentioned that while the constitution and Disability Act (Act 715) guaranteed equality, the reality was a different story.
It noted that PWDs were significantly underrepresented in decision-making spaces, undermining the nation's goals of fostering an inclusive society. "PWDs bring valuable skills, diverse perspectives, and lived experiences that can meaningfully shape governance.
