Issue of delayed disability allowance payments submitted to Parliament

A motion has been submitted to the People's Majlis to hold the National Social Protection Agency (NSPA) and relevant authorities accountable for delays in disability allowance disbursement. MP Mohamed Ibrahim (Kudoo) of MDP for North Galolhu constituency highlighted that Article 45 of the Constitution mandates special assistance to persons with disabilities, and Section 19(a) of the Act on Protection of Rights of Persons with Disabilities guarantees financial aid. The allowance, often the sole financial resource for recipients, has not been deposited consistently, causing financial and psychological distress. The motion calls for accountability and a permanent mechanism to ensure timely deposits.
