    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also thank Sen. Sakaja for the reports to the petitions that he has presented. I would like to bring to the Floor of this House that Sen. Sakaja has talked about the Matendechere issue. Mr. Matendechere is helpless and needs somebody, like the Senate, to hold his hand. The case that Sen. Sakaja has mentioned is in court, is actually not in court. I spoke to him and he mentioned that he has never been summoned, given a notice, nobody has called him and he is just wallowing in Lugari and he does not know how he will sort out his issue. There is need for the Senate to investigate. If Matendechere‘s case is in court, let the Senate come out clearly and say who is representing Matendechere in court. What is the case number? What is the file number? The reports that come on the Floor of this House should be true reports that are going to help Kenyans. There is pro bono, yes. Was Matendechere given pro bono service? He was not given. So, I say as a Senator representing Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), I will not allow false information to come to this House on issues of disabilities. Matendechere must get his legal right. When it comes to rights, he should not be delayed. There is need to investigate his issue because of the disability that Broadway caused him. He needs to be compensated. I will not joke or entertain when PwDs are marginalized, downtrodden and the Senate is not supporting them. The issue of Matendechere must be followed by this Senate. He needs to get his compensation. Thank you."
