    "content": "The Budget of the country in respect of the people I represent, persons living with disabilities (PWD), has constantly remained stagnant. It is just a flat budget of about Ksh400 million. I do not know what plans we have to increase the budget for persons with disabilities in this country. Persons with disabilities in this country have consistent and persistent needs. When we talk about cushioning the vulnerable, who are more vulnerable in this country than persons with disabilities? They constantly require wheelchairs, care and many other things. I would wish that even as we move forward to our next year’s Budget, Hon. Limo may have to sit down and look at the budget that goes to the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection that basically trickles down through the National Council for Persons With Disabilities. It is a completely small budget that does not even meet the very needs for PWDs. I am making this case in this House because they have sent me to look at their budget and ensure that it does not reduce while other budgets increase. Look at the budgets that go to health. I know healthcare is huge in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
