    "content": "Disabilities (PWDs) and other vulnerable groups such as women and the youth is discouraging. As much as we think that devolution is working, it must work for everybody, not just the able-bodied. To Mr. Mugo, Uncle Abdullahi and other PWDs, I would like to assure them that when we come back after elections, because some of us will be joining the Lower House, those of you who will be here, please, make sure that you do as required under Article 96, which mandates this House to protect counties and their governments. Protection of counties is not just the governments alone. It involves protection of people living in those counties. We should make sure that this House makes laws that will ensure we have a legislative framework for PWDs and other vulnerable groups which will allow money to go to people that need it most. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Bill on preservation of human dignity and socio-economic rights was speaking precisely to the provisions under Article 43. I hope that you will see to it, so that Bills awaiting Division see the light of day before we go home in a few days. These are some of the legislative frameworks which could be cascaded down to the counties to ensure these kinds of things that exclude our people do not happen. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity. I support this Bill and I look forward to the implementation of some of the recommendations of the Committee."
