By Nasratu KargboRepresenting Christian Union for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CUBVI), Mohamed Samuel Fullah has called on the Parliament of Sierra Leone to consider people who are blind by producing braille versions of all national documents. He said they see themselves as partners in nation-building and emphasized that the constitution and all other national documents should be made available in braille. Responding to the question of whether they have any other document in brail aside from the EITI document, Fullah said they only have the Child Rights Act. “Other than that, we have not had any national document in braille”, he said. Speaking during the programme, the National Coordinator for National Advocacy Coalition on Extractives (NACE) Cecelia Mattia said that it is the second time EITI has ensured that its documents are presented in braille version, but admitted it had cost more in expenses.
