    "content": "I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding registration and welfare of People Living with Disability (PWD). In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) State the number of persons registered with the National Council for Persons with Disability (NCPWD) as living with disability from the year 2022 to date; (2) inform the Senate on the process of registration of Persons with Disability (PWDs), recommending ways to simplify the procedure and make registration services more accessible; (3) outline the criteria used by the Government to distribute assistive devices to PWDs, stating why a high number of disabled persons still lack access to the necessary assistive devices and further spell out measures, if any, put in place to ensure PWDs get assistive devices and attendant health services for their various forms of disability; and (4) explain the cause for the increased number of people living with disability begging on the streets of the major towns and urban areas across the country, and the steps being taken by the Government, if any, to provide them with the necessary social assistance. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
