National Assembly proposes Imprisonment for those who beg alms using the disabled

November 6, 2014 by Kelly Davies Leave a Comment

The national assembly has proposed a six month jail term for anyone who uses disabled persons to solicit alms. The upper and lower houses have called it a crime for anyone or group of people to use people with disability to solicit alms in the public.

The upper and lower houses have jointly made this provision as a bill and preparing it to be presented to the president. If the bill is signed into law, the number of disabled people begging on the street will reduce drastically.

The step was taken by the lawmakers to augment the national commission for persons with disabilities, which will be chaired by a disabled person.
