    "content": "Barriers should be removed so that the disabled can access almost all services. When it comes to employment of people with disabilities, sometimes, employers doubt their performance. People still have a lot of negativities towards people with disabilities. It is high time we fully implemented the Constitution and the Act. It does not help people with disabilities to have laws written on paper but, when it comes to implementation, nothing happens. Everybody should comply with the labour laws. As Members of Parliament, we must start by ensuring that each of us employs people with disabilities in our offices. We are talking about the same, but what have we done as Members? It defeats logic if, as Members of Parliament, we have not fulfilled that requirement. What is rightful for PWDs should be given to them. Even when it comes to contracts, the percentage set aside for PWDs is very small and yet, they are still not given opportunity. It is high time we implemented the Constitution, comply with the Persons with Disabilities Act and all will be well."
