On an ordinary day, Hamisa Zaja, the Coast Association for Persons with Disability chief executive officer, receives more than 30 phone calls.
If it is not a person arrested by police officers while scampering to beat the curfew, it is about distraught people suffering from hunger, domestic and sexual violence or persons living with disabilities.
She visits hospitals, chiefs’ offices and even the streets to rescue persons living with disabilities who fall afoul of the law for flouting the curfew rules or for being suspected to have coronavirus-like symptoms.
“Police officers should not beat people flouting the curfew rules, some are not aware, especially those living with different disabilities.
At Mama Ngina Girl’s High School, Zaja said she did not like students pitying her.
