Ghanaian hiplife star Okyeame Kwame has described as needless persons who marginalize, disrespect or discriminate against persons with disability since everyone is a potential person with a disability.
According to him, despite his fine appearance and unmatched singing talent, he himself is half disabled suffering from fractional visual impairment.
“At the age of 30 years, I started having difficulty with my vision…and therefore cannot see properly without wearing my lenses…that’s why people sometimes tease me that even inside the gym I still wear my lenses.”
Speaking as one of the ambassadors for the upcoming Ability Fair being organized by the Henry Djaba Memorial Foundation to showcase the talents, abilities, and artifacts of persons with disabilities, Okyeame Kwame expressed utmost disappointment about the level of disrespect, marginalization, abuse, and intimidation against the persons with disability by the society.
He expressed the need for all Ghanaians, especially those in decision-making positions to emulate the shining example of Dr. Otiko Afisah Djaba and prioritize the interest, welfare, and development of persons with disabilities to enable them to realize their hidden potentials.
