    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on claims of inaccurate data of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in official data collection efforts reflected in the National Census of 2019. In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) State the disability prevalence rate in Kenya recorded in the last four years, disaggregating these figures into gender, age, types of disability and counties. (2) State steps put in place to ensure that all PWDs, including children under the age of five are properly accounted for in disability statistics and data collection efforts, tabling evidence of capitation released to the NCPWD to cater for this special interest group in the last four years. (3) Shed light on allegations that 413,620 PWDs counted in the National Census of 2009 were not accounted for in the National Census of 2019, stating measures in place to improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of disability statistics. (4) State targeted interventions to improve the current tools in use and training accorded to all enumerators to ensure inclusivity and accounting of physical, sensory, and neuro-diverse disabilities both visible and invisible. (5) State plans to engage the public to audit census tools for the comprehensiveness of questions, design and categorization of disability status. I thank you."
