    "content": "expensive and PWDs cannot afford them. They cannot be suffering from disability and then we disable them further by not giving them the support they need to stand a chance ahead of the queue. If we do not do that, almost 5 per cent of Kenyans will be injured permanently. To that extent, the country will reduce its production capacity by almost 5 per cent. If you look at the multiplier effect, we are speaking of a bigger percentage of the 5 per cent we are denying opportunities because of their inability or because they are enabled differently. They should be given a chance to use their God-given talents to excel. I have seen a very interesting scenario where if you are disabled, you are reduced to a shoemaker. The best the community can do is to give you an opportunity to learn to be a shoemaker or shoe repairer and yet these are people whose minds are not injured in any way. They can do a lot more than repairing shoes. These are people who are intellectually empowered just like any of us. It is just that they do not have the opportunity to go to a normal school that would give them skills and empower them to compete with any other person in the society."
