Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo has called on the government to take swift and deliberate action to address the exclusion of persons with disabilities (PWDs) from the education and economic sectors.

Speaking during the launch of a sensitization and wheelchair distribution initiative in Apetit, Teso South constituency, Omanyo urged the government, through the Social Services Department, to carry out mass sensitization programs to inform PWDs of their rights and privileges.
