    "content": "also be seeking the support of the Senators so that when these houses are put up, there will be allocation for that category of people. We will also be engaging the National Housing Corporation (NHC), the National Construction Authority (NCA) and all the other state agencies to ensure that these houses are accessible to all categories of people living with disability. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I also congratulate His Excellency the President for the recent nominations to the Cabinet. These are men and women who are capable to steer this country to the promised land. We are also looking forward to when other nominations and other offices will be considered. We hope to see a quite number of people living with disabilities being offered opportunities to serve. We note with regret that if you look across this country, about 22 out of the 47 counties do not have representation of people with disabilities. The number has risen from 17 in the last election and it is going up. We will be seeking the support of this House so that we can have a law that in the next election, we will have specifically reserved positions for representation. Most of the people are in the counties. If they are not represented, it will be impossible for them to get help. I thank you for this opportunity. I also congratulate you for acting as a Speaker. I think that you are being prepared for better things."
