    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to bring the following Petition in concert with the people who have signed it. “We, the undersigned, concerned citizens of Kenya, residents of Migori County and especially persons with various types of disability; aware that Article 54(1) paragraph (b) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for the rights of Persons with Disability (PWDs); that PWDs are entitled to reasonable access to educational institutions and facilities for PWDs that are integrated into the society to the extent compatible with the interest of the person. THAT, Article 10(2) paragraph (b) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 recognizes human dignity, equity, social justice, inclusivity, equality, human rights, non- discrimination and protection of the marginalized in Public Service and Government. Whereas, Article 56 provides that the State shall put in place measures to ensure affirmative action programmes designed to ensure minority and marginalized groups participate and are represented in governance and other spheres of life and Article 185 vests legislative authority and oversight functions of counties to the county assemblies. THAT, the County Government of Migori in its County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 outlined to develop socio-economic programmes geared towards promotion of gender and disability programmes in its County Development Agenda that a budget approved since the Financial Year 2013/2014 to date has not provided for specific budget lines to demonstrate substantial efforts by the county government in implementing disability mainstreaming programmes. This exclusion has exposed the PWDs to low levels of living standards and serious negative economic impact by the County Government of Migori."
