This statement was made in a video released on December 3, coinciding with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

During his address, Subron highlighted several key initiatives that the government plans to implement to support individuals with disabilities.

He mentioned that thousands of senior citizens living with disabilities would also receive their “Basic Invalid Pension.”

Additionally, all social benefits will be exempt from taxation under the new government’s policies.

In alignment with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Minister Subron reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enhancing Article 16 of the constitution, which concerns constitutional reform.

This reform would provide constitutional protection to individuals with disabilities against all forms of discrimination.
