The Federation of Persons with Disability is calling on the government to inject substantial capital into existing businesses of its members to enable them improve their living conditions.
According to them, most of their fellows are now pursuing higher education while others are also into various forms of businesses which make them independent, hence the call for support.
The group revealed the government presented some cash support to a few of their fellows in Accra who are into business to enable them expand and employ others.
The Akyem Abuakwa South Chapter of the Federation of Persons with Disability is, therefore, pleading with the government to extend the gesture to the local levels and give them a quota of job vacancies at the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs).
