    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. From the outset, as at now, this Bill does not concern the counties. When it comes to implementation, obviously counties will have a great role to play, especially in the modification of buildings because this law is generated from them. I believe in one way or another, counties have a role to play. For now, we urgently need this law. In this country, many PWDs have suffered. The experiences I have in Makueni County is that children with disabilities are hidden by their parents or guardians. They never get an opportunity to go to school or enjoy their rights, as protected in the Constitution. Therefore, this Bill will protect their rights because the previous law and the current one does not cover this well. So, in the Third Reading, we will have something to do. The PWDs are mistreated by those living with them and some are locked up. I am aware of one case where a PWDs got depression and those living with him would lock him in chains, until they got back to the house. This law is also talking about access to food and water, which The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
