On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, the Coalition of Unemployed Graduates with Disabilities plans to conduct a peaceful picketing at the Jubilee House, demanding action on promises regarding employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. The group claims that despite press statements, petitions, and prior discussions with government officials, the unfulfilled commitment to a 5% reservation for disabled individuals in public sector recruitment remains unmet.
Many qualified graduates with disabilities are struggling financially, despite possessing the necessary qualifications and skills. The Coalition asserts that they have had enough of empty promises and will directly address the government to advocate for dignity, inclusion, and equal employment access. They will gather at the Accra Rehabilitation Centre around 9:00 AM, proceeding with picketing, placard displays, and a media address.
Coalition convener Gilbert Boateng Agyare requests support from media organizations, journalists, human rights advocates, and the public by covering the demonstration.
