Santo Domingo.- The president of the National Council on Disability, Benny Metz, and the executive director, Alexis Alcántara, held a meeting with senators headed by their president Ricardo De Los Santos, to exchange opinions and ideas on the projects carried out in favor of people with disabilities nationwide.
The meeting with the legislators seeks to reinforce the presence of CONADIS in all the provinces of the country, so that people with disabilities feel protected and represented.
“Nuestro interés con las jornadas de inclusión social CONADIS para todos es que los servicios sean extendidos a todas las provincias del país para que cada persona con discapacidad pueda aprovecharlos sin tener que trasladarse hacia la sede principal, es por ello que la integración de cada legislador es fundamental”,
Likewise, members of the senate announced that support will be provided to people with disabilities from the senatorial offices in the provinces.
During the meeting, CONADIS President Benny Metz also expressed to the senators the need to comprehensively reform the project that seeks to modify Law 5-13 on Disability, because it is more than 12 years old and some of its aspects are still functional, however other points require adjustments.
