    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker. I also wish to join my colleagues in congratulating Hon. Dennitah Ghati. Just this mid-morning, I was with Nominee 001, Hon. ole Sankok and His Excellency the Deputy President at Kijabe Mission Hospital for a function to inaugurate a new department to deal with people living with disability. In addition, I had an eye-opening experience as I listened to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of that hospital, the AIC Cure International Hospital at Kijabe. I left that hospital challenged as a Member of Parliament (MP) and as a leader in this country. Additionally, we did pledge with Nominee 001, Hon. ole Sankok that, in the coming year, we will co-sponsor a Bill to assist people living with disabilities to be able to exempt some of the equipment that they use and that are still being levied duty and making their lives unbearable. If we are giving tax breaks to young people in this country, we must also be cognizant of the difficulties that the people living with disabilities live with. Some of the gadgets they use are still being levied duty as they import. Some of them can be made here. However, because of the raw materials used, they are levied duty. Additionally, when we walked into the workshop at the hospital, the gentleman in charge of the workshop enumerated to us the cost of some of the assistive devices that they are giving to 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."
