Mansa District Disability Association Chairperson Witness Kombe has cautioned people living with disabilities to be considerate as they benefit from programmes which government is implementing for them.
Mr. Kombe said this in the wake of some people living with disabilities who have continued benefiting from more than one government empowerment program at the expense of others.
He said it is saddening that at the time when some people living with disabilities are desperately looking for empowerment, others are benefiting from more than one empowerment program.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Mansa today, Mr. Kombe called for an end to this behaviour if the lives of the physically challenged is to improve.
He said his organisation is trying its best to correct the situation and has since urged the members to cooperate.
Mr Kombe however lamented that in trying to correct the situation some people have accused the Association of favouring certain people which in actual sense is not true.
He said government is working hard in ensuring that the plight of people with disabilities are improved and that people with disabilities should be honest enough to ensure that the right people benefit.
Mr. Kombe has since appealed to the Ministry of Community Development and Social Welfare to put up mechanisms which will ensure that everyone benefits equally.
This man is as silly as his name “Witness”…if disabled are abusing the system whose fault is it..other counties have databases…you have just exposed a flaw in the system and how money is being wasted…
