This comes as a result of the government’s pledge to increase the disability fund component of the Assemblies Common Fund from two percent to three percent.

The items presented to the PWDs include deep freezers, gas ovens, hairdryer, laptop, ceiling fan, sewing machines, popcorn machines, and show grinding machines.



Mr. Boye laryea, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), who disclosed this during the donation, said the gesture was to fulfill the promise made by President Akuffo-Addo during the 2016 election campaign.

He said the empowerment of PWDs is a way to get them out of the streets and earn an economically rewarding occupation.
