Disability Act yet to be put in force, says MP

Publication Date: 9/12/2007
An MP yesterday claimed the Disability Act passed by Parliament four years ago was yet to be implemented.

Mr Sammy Weya (Alego Usonga, Narc) rose soon after question time to request a ministerial statement from the minister for Home Affairs, Mr Moody Awori, who doubles as the Vice-President.

The MP accused the Executive of taking members for granted.
