Persons with Disabilities have complained about lack of accessible routes to ATM and banking halls
Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) have complained about the unfriendly nature of ATM booths to them.
Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations, Adam Abdul Wahab, said PWDs are unable to access ATM booths to make transactions due to the lack of accessible routes.
According to him, if not checked immediately, the situation will further worsen the economic plight of PWDs.
Speaking on Ghana Yensom on Accra 100.5FM on Friday, 27 April, hosted by Chief Jerry Forson, Wahab said: “We are facing a lot of challenges; for instance, some of the banking halls are not accessible to us. Their ATM booths are also not accessible, they are not friendly to us at all.”
He added: “We will appeal to the authorities to look at this issue and address it for us.”
