The Municipal Chief Executive Louisa Iris Arde was grateful to the president for increasing the Disability Fund from two percent to three percent and also appreciated the social welfare department for selecting the right beneficiaries devoid of politics.
She said it is government top priority to keep extending support to persons living with disability to alleviate their predicament.
The MCE entreated the beneficiaries to try to invest the money into productive ventures to help uplift their standards of living and welfare in the society.
She therefore pleaded with everyone not to discriminate against them, but embrace them.
