Atikoh Says There Are Still Companies That Only Accept Disabled Work Formality

ProBOLINGGO - The wife of the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, Siti Atikoh, said that there are still disabled groups who complain that there are still companies that are just formalitys of employing them. There are also those who are not employed as other workers.

This was conveyed by Atikoh when he was present at Akas Garage, Probolinggo City, East Java, Thursday, January 25. Initially, Atikoh said that in the field there were still few disabled groups employed in companies and agencies.

"In terms of work, there is still very little, about five percent of these friends can be accepted in companies or agencies. By law, it's two percent, yes, but five percent have been worked on. But, the real thing is not like that," said Atikoh in front of the residents.

"And even when I was already working, it was not employed equally. A kind of formality that the company has accepted friends with disabilities," he continued.

Atikoh said that this condition was a concern for candidate pair number three, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD. One of them is by providing assistance so that the disabled group can be bridged to its needs.

In addition, disabled groups will also be prepared to participate in the One Family program, One Bachelor. They have the same rights regarding access to education, "he said

"If friends with disabilities have the capacity to access education in this university, it will definitely be open. So it takes a lot of energy and then enthusiasm from friends so that we are equal in education," he added.

Ganjar-Mahfud also called Atikoh will try to build an inclusion environment in schools. Because there are still many students who sometimes cannot empathize.

"I will accompany my friends to absorb aspirations and fight together so that my friends get equality both in terms of infrastructure, accessibility, work and other access. Including the access needed are many friends who have not received the benefits provided by the government," concluded Atikoh.
