Government is taking steps to lead by example as it relates to providing employment for people with disabilities.
Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs Kirk Humphrey says Clause 42 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2024 states that every Ministry will be required to employ qualified persons with disabilities.
He made the announcement while introducing the Bill to the House of Assembly.
Minister Humphrey further adds that Clause 51 of the bill states that people with disabilities shall not be denied insurance solely on the basis of their disability.
He says there were many meetings with insurance providers about the issue.
