    "content": "The other issue that caught the eye of the Auditor-General is the Economic Empowerment Programme which has not improved the economic status of persons with disabilities. What is the Economic Empowerment Programme? Various groups of persons with disabilities are put together to submit their proposals and then they get empowerment programmes. The amount granted to each of the groups is not adequate to start viable projects. Marketing is a challenge. The group disintegrate due to disagreement among the members. Whereas the Government tries to consolidate these persons with disabilities together by empowering the various groups, is the money they get good enough to enable them to start businesses? The allocations to these groups are so small or minimal that they create disagreement when the members of that group get together, and instead they go separate ways. They are unable to move and make any impact or meaningful progress out of that grant from the Government."
