A draft law prepared by the Human Resources Department contains provisions to enable the disabled people to carry out their jobs, Al Mahmoud said, noting that once the draft law and its regulation were ratified, they would be translated into the sign and touching language to brief the disabled people on their rights and duties to serve their homeland.
