REPRESENTATIVES of the National Commission on Disability met with Home Affairs Minister Oneidge Walrond on Friday, in what was initially billed as a courtesy visit, but the meeting quickly turned into a substantive working session that produced immediate results on several long-standing concerns affecting persons with disabilities.

According to information from the minister’s official Facebook page, multiple issues raised during the discussion were resolved on the spot, while other matters requiring further review were assigned clear next steps for continued collaboration between the two sides.

“Meaningful change begins with meaningful conversations,” Minister Walrond said following the engagement, noting that the meeting moved beyond formalities to focus on practical solutions.

The engagement was described as solutions-focused, with both parties committing to an ongoing dialogue aimed at addressing outstanding challenges facing the disability community.
