TOKYO - Japan’s upper house of parliament was completing renovations on Monday to improve access for two severely-disabled lawmakers set to arrive this week, carving out space for their wheelchairs and building a temporary ramp.
“We’ll do everything we can for them so there’ll be no problems,” upper house spokesman Koji Ono said of the two, who use reclining wheelchairs and will need help in parliament. He put the cost of the renovations at about 700,000 yen . A temporary ramp is to be built at the main entrance, where lawmakers go up a set of stone steps carpeted in red to make their ceremonial first entry.
“I’d like them to quickly make it possible for people in wheelchairs to be able to confidently enter parliament without needing anybody’s help,” the MP, Eita Yashiro, said at the time.
