Thank you, Speaker. Hon Minister, I just want to know how this policy will affect the lives of the people with disabilities. I am referring to the National Disability Rights Policy, and also the universal access design framework. Thank you.
The MINISTER OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: Speaker, I thank the hon member. The National Disability Rights Policy will assist us in ensuring that people with disabilities have access to education and justice. It will also ensure that we look at possible legislation. As I have said, we are still consulting, particularly the disability sector, to hear from them - the abused - as to whether we can develop this policy into legislation that will assist us to domesticate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The universal access design framework will prescribe universal access to transport, buildings, information such as ICT, and other programmes that we think will help us ensure that people with disabilities, including children in schools, have more access in our country. Thank you.
