    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura for raising this matter. People living with disabilities in this man-eat- man or woman-kill-man, man-kill-woman society must be protected at all times. I am glad that it has come to the attention of this House through Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura that the City County Government of Nairobi is harassing a person living with disability. It is the duty of all of us, just like ‘His Excellency’ Jesus demonstrated that we should give attention, love and consideration to the most unfortunate or the weak members of society. We must all focus on this matter and ensure that the Nairobi City County Government gives sufficient response. The Committee which this matter is referred to must demonstrate a clear policy on how they will do an affirmative action on people living with disabilities. Madam Temporary Speaker, you hardly ever hear a person living with disability getting employed or getting empowered in terms of resources. Now that they have very little, for example, a parking lot or some land, it is taken away forcefully and that person is injured, maimed and hospitalized. So, we really want to know because this is where the practice and the policy are tested. We want to know what has been done to the people who were involved and what is being done to compensate this person. We also want to know what is being done by way of affirmative action, to PwD who have requested to be allocated such parcels of land or opportunities that all of us are craving for."
