"Working creates confidence and respect in society," she said.
She was responding to a question posed by Ms Leah Komanya (Special Seats-CCM) who wanted to know how the government ensured the legal section was being implemented.
Ms Ikupa said the government has established a database of graduates who qualify for employment in collaboration with the President's Office - Public Service Management.
She said the government also conducts inspections and punish the employers who do not comply.
Other measures include sensitising people with disability to apply; working with Association of Tanzania Employers to awarding employers who accommodate the people with disability; providing training for self employment; and setting special technical colleges like Yombo in Dar es Salaam and Saba saba in Singida which are for the people with disability.
