    "content": "When it comes to reservation of employment, it should be practical. Employers should report to Parliament on how many people they have employed, what cadre are PwDs in and how many have been promoted. Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura can attest to this, that we carry the pains of PwDs. Some of them, have papers but they are just there. They just get into advocacy on issues of disability and yet if they are given an opportunity at managerial level and as researchers, they will execute just like anybody else. They must not always be doing advocacy on PwDs. In fact, advocacy is not a job. This Bill will ensure that PwDs are given jobs. When it comes to county governments, this Bill will obligate county governments to come up with sustainable ways of ensuring PwDs are involved in the county development plan. This Bill obligates that ear aids should be there. Ear aids are very important. First of all, they are important in terms of accessing and identifying children with disabilities. You will be shocked at what is happening at the counties. I was in Lumakanda Township in Lugari recently and found all children with disability lumped in one class; the deaf, the dumb and the physically challenged being taught with about five teachers in the same class. When this Bill is effected, such things will not happen because county and national Governments will be obligated to provide the infrastructure for the children with disability. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, kindly allow me three more minutes to talk about accessibility."
