The Liberia Christian Association of the Blind (CAB) rejected proposed amendments to the 2005 Act establishing the National Commission on Disabilities. Speaking in Paynesville, CAB President Beyan Kota urged authorities to increase the number of electoral districts and retain the provision requiring institutions to employ at least four persons with disabilities for every 100 employees. CAB also rejected proposals that would remove the Commission’s enforcement powers.
