"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for granting me an opprtunity to be part of this love for humanity. Our disabled citizens are people just like us. In fact, God Almighty confers upon us the duty to care for those who are disabled, lowly, the poor and those in difficulties. While one traverses this earth and have opprtunity to serve, it is their duty to serve those who need it most. I am happy to be associated with the excellent work of the distinguished colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve). She is a person who has never wasted a moment but to emphasize the need and desires of PWDs. Her presence in Parliament has been of invaluable contribution to the position Parliament has held for a long time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, disability is something that people do not desire. It is something that nature imposes on us. It does not matter the nature of that disability because it does not take away our humanity and entitlements as people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the State being the personification of our collective humanity has a duty that found its way conspicuously in our Constitution. The Constitution at Article 7 (3) (d) is loud and emphatic to the extent that it imposes a duty upon the State to do what it must and ensure that sign language together with other languages that can only assist the disabled is entrenched in our system."
