Visually impaired persons in the Central Region have kick-started a campaign to promote peace ahead of the December general elections.
The campaign dubbed “the Disable Peace Train” will carry-out vigorous advocacy on the need for peace throughout the region and some parts of the country.
It is being spearheaded by a group of visually impaired members of the Royal Sparrows Band, an organization under the Ghana Blind Union.
Leader of the group, Charles Oppong said the campaign will target all segments of society including the church, political parties, government and security agencies.
He explained that his group was particularly concerned because visually impaired people suffer the most in chaotic, unstable situations.
He cited the war in Liberia which claimed the lives of a number of physically challenged persons especially the blind.
Mr. Oppong also appealed to politicians to ensure the availability of braille versions of their manifestoes to enable persons with visual impairment make informed decisions on the coming presidential and parliamentary elections.
