    "content": "government in implementing disability mainstreaming programmes. This exclusion has exposed PWDs to low levels of living standards and serious negative economic impact by the County Government of Migori. (7) That among strategies identified to facilitate the achievement of this socio- economic pillar were developing gender mainstreaming programmes, improving access to social protection funds for the vulnerable groups, establish and increase access to women and PWDs funds. (8) That efforts to have this matter addressed with the relevant National and county governments agencies have not produced any positive results despite our continuous follow-ups. (9) That the matter in this Petition is not pending before any court of law, other constitutional or legal body. The petitioners prayed that the Senate investigates the matter to ensure- (1) That the issues raised in the Petition and provide appropriate measure to resolve the matter. (2) It recommends the creation and inclusion of social protection programmes for PWDs in the county. (3) That it makes any other recommendation that it deems fit in the circumstance of this matter. Following the tabling of the Petition and in line with Senate Standing Order No.232(2), the Speaker directed the Standing Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration to investigate the matter and table the report in the House within 60 calendar days. The Committee was, however, unable to complete the issue within the stipulated time due to some unseen challenges, especially the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee received submissions from the people of Migori County and the Disability Development Forum. During the visit to Migori County, the Committee met the Migori County Executive and the Assembly. The Committee met the Members of the County Assembly to deliberate on the Petition."
