The speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga wants government to put in place a special fund for sponsoring persons with disabilities at the university.

Kadaga says there are many persons with disabilities who pass with good grades but cannot make it to the university due to lack of funds.

Kadaga says once such a fund is put in place it will help reduce the levels of illiteracy among persons with disabilities.

In a related development the speaker promises to consider amending bills concerning persons with disability like the building control bill next year.

She says she want persons with disabilities to enjoy their full rights just like other able bodied Ugandans.
