Govt avails budget in Braille

The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) has taken another step to cater for the visually impaired and produced the 2014 budget speech in Braille.

Speaking at the launch last week, Permanent Secretary for the ministry, Solomon Sekwakwa said the visually impaired have the right to be informed and educated about how the national budget is being allocated and more importantly how it is going to address their needs, challenges and aspirations.

“This is a demonstration of our commitment to embrace all members of our society in undertaking our mandate,” he said.
