    "content": "I have listened to my colleagues talk about laws and provisions in the Constitution, and international treaties that bind us nationally in providing care to our children. It should come out naturally that any government, any human being must be driven, not only by law, but also conscience to provide care for our children with disability. In our Constitution, Article 43(3) states that: - “The state shall provide appropriate social security to persons who are unable to support themselves and their dependants.” This is the basis of all laws on the protection of children and PWDs. The government has a duty of care to ensure that these children have access to education, health care and free movement. I have visited a number of schools in my county for children with special needs. Even as you talk about these children, there will be need for us also to address the issue of the caregivers. These people who are charged with the responsibility of taking care of these children with special needs; we ought to give them an environment that is conducive to provide that care in the first place. I thank Sen. Crystal Asige for being at the forefront to fight for PWDs and not leaving any child behind."
