East Africa to harmonise laws on disabled
EAST African Community (EAC) member states have agreed to harmonise legislation related to persons with disabilities (PWDs). EAC secretary general Juma Mwapachu said the treaty was weak in addressing the challenges faced by disabled people.
He explained that there was need for a comprehensive regional policy governing PWDs. He expressed hope that the members would adopt a binding protocol or enact a regional law on the issue.
