Married women shouldnot be part of the beneficiary. Divorced women should receive marital benefits from their husbands. Divorcees should notremarry. Customary law to determine most of these things.Finances. Annual audit on all public institutions, collections and expenditures should be done for example in schools andhospitals. Commissions: I recommend that they be recommended by Parliament and the Commission appointed by theParliament, must have their report made public. Public offices should give us priorities in attending disabled problems, as theyare slow to get to the offices and late to go home - Hence forced to come the following day.Problems of the disabled can only be manned by people who have got knowledge of their disabilities. The Constitution shouldenact a law to have a Ministry of Disabled for proper representation in Parliament.
