    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this Bill is seeking to address the unemployment issue, which is the biggest challenge for PWDs in Kenya. The PWDs do not have jobs, are not trained and their lives, therefore, are not well like any other persons. I am happy because this Bill is seeking to criminalise any employer who dismisses PWDs based on disability. Article 70 says that “No person shall, on the ground of disability, deny a person with disability employment.” Of all the poor Kenyans in this country, 90 per cent are PWDs. As a country, we are trying, but we must work hard to ensure that PWDs are taken care of. We are in a state and at a time when we are doing elections, and I am happy that this Bill is seeking to say that no PWDs shall be denied a right to participate in the political process. However, even if we are saying that in this Bill, how many PWDs are participating in the political process? It is not good."
