Visual impairment would not affect my job – Minister-designate

 He said many had doubted his abilities then and questioned how he could discharge his duties, but was able to prove his critics wrong.

 When asked if his sight could pose a challenge to his new portfolio, he replied in the negative.

 “No. I am saying no because there is no human being that will take up a job and would not have a challenge, so to that extent I will say I will have a challenge.”

 Customarily, some chiefs don’t shake hands with blind people, but for Dr. Daanaa having worked with chiefs both at regional and national levels, he remarked, “that has not affected my work for 19 years”.

 Meanwhile, the Ghana Federation of the Disabled has expressed appreciation over Dr Daanaa’s nomination.

 The President of the federation, Mr Yaw Ofori Debrah, who also doubles as the President of the Ghana Blind Union, said the Union was happy the President has recognised the talents of physically challenged persons.
