What I have learned about Ugandan politics is that wherever there are large budget allocations, there will always be competition over who takes charge. As people continue to fight for these positions, I kindly ask that we do not forget persons with disabilities @UGParalympics . They also deserve support, opportunities, and proper funding.

Many public spaces in Uganda remain out of reach for people with disabilities. It’s time for us to prioritize accessible infrastructure and create equal opportunities for all. #InclusionMatters #DisabilityRights @IdiwaNgo @OjUganda @mildredtuhaise @ictforPWDs @ShowAbilitiesUg
