As a follow-up to the Electoral Commission’s decision to give disabled persons special dispensation in the ongoing registration exercise, the Greater Accra Region Electoral office has opened a centre at the Accra Rehabilitation Centre to cater for them.
The centre, which houses all the disabled groupings, is to register those with impaired hearing, speech, sight and the physically challenged.
These are; the Ghana Society for the blind and deaf, Society for the physically disabled and the Federation of Disabled persons.
At the time, Times, visited the centre yesterday, none of the physically challenged persons at the centre had been registered.
Felicia Adams, the registration officer said the registration had delayed because only one political party agent was present at the centre.
"It has become difficult to start the exercise because we do not want any party to complain that its agent was not present when the registration started."
She said the present political dispensation, calls for caution "because we want to make sure all the parties are satisfied with the exercise."
However, at the time of leaving the premises at 3.40 p.m., the centre had registered three physically challenged persons.
Ms Adams explained that she registered them because she got the nod from all the party agents present, adding they will maintain the centre for the rest of the registration exercise and urged all physically challenged persons to go there and register.
