GSPD wants considerations during elections

 
    Mr Joseph Adu-Boampong, National President of the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled (GSPD), has expressed concern that the physically challenged did not often get the enabling environment for voting during elections.
     This, he explained,was because provisions were often not made for it members to have easy access to campaign grounds and the provision of  room for them to vote.
     He said some of the places where voting took place required that voters climbed staircases.   
     Mr Adu-Boampong said the Association expects political parties to provide interpreters for the deaf at their rallies, so that the deaf would not only join the crowd to clap without hearing the message.
     The National President urged members to endeavour to vote massively during this year's presidential and parliamentary elections, adding that members should comport themselves and leave scenes of violence rallies.
