Salum Khalfani Bar’wani of Tanzania

Just like Isaac from Kenya, Salum is also the first-ever albino member of parliament in the political history of Tanzania. The lawmaker has since expressed his resolve to address issues related to the discrimination against albinos and other minorities in Tanzania.

“I am going to fight for their [albino] rights first and foremost,” Bar’wani said. “But besides that, I shall also fight for the rights of other people with disabilities – like those with impaired vision and hearing,” he revealed to CNN.
