Scuffles at Capitol as Disabled Demand Audience with Speaker Chambers


By Omari Jackson & Hannah GeterminahA group of physically challenged Liberians under the banner of Disabled Like Minds for Good Governance, led by Samuel Dean yesterday congregated on Capitol Hill in Monrovia, to present a petition to House Speaker Bhofal Chambers. “Enough is enough,” Dean said when the Sergeant-at-arms from Speaker Chambers’ office, came down to speak to the group. Meanwhile frantic efforts were being made to calm tempers, with assurances to the disabled group that their demands would be honored and the petition would reach Dr. They assured the group that they regretted the incident and recognized their right to come to Capitol Hill to demand an audience with the Speaker. A few months ago, President George Weah re-instated the three directors at the National Commission on Disabilities (NCD), the life-blood of the disabled community.
