The Zambia Disability HIV/AIDS Human Rights Programme has urged disabled organisations and persons with disabilities to develop keen interest and participate in the National Constititution Conference (NCC).
Programmes Director Elijah Ngwale says the participation of disabled organisations
and persons with disabilities in the NCC will give them a wonderful opportunity to
represent themselves on the NNC fora.
Mr Ngwale told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that the participation of
persons with disabilities in the NCC would also play a paramount role of ensuring
that human rights to do with disabilities are not violeted in the country.
He urged politicians, the church and other stakeholders not to shunn the much
awaited and needed NCC Act but to ensure that they participate so that the alleged
numerous frauds in the NCC can be addressed.
Mr Ngwale, who also demanded the inclussion of the people with disabilities in the
NCC said there is need to expeditiously put in place a new constitution that will
answer the people’s aspiration.
