    "content": "be PWDs. At least we have one Sen. Crystal Asige whom we are proud of. Sen. Asige you should bring a statement on the status of appointments. I do not want you to be biased against just the national Government. You should request the compliance of this Article 54(2) in terms of National Executive. Parliament is failing yet we are the lawmakers. If you look for the PWDs that work in Parliament ni kama kutafuta sindanokwa nyasi . Parliament is guilty as charged. Can we meet the 5 per cent of our workforce under Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC)? Madam Temporary Speaker, you sit in the Speaker’s Panel, and you can pass our message. If the Commissioner, Sen. Kinyua was here, I would have asked him the same question. The PSC must show us if they comply with the 5 per cent of the people living with disability. Same applies to the National Executive, the county governments and the parastatals. Sen. Asige, take the bull by the horns and demand to be Tabled in the Senate so that we can be aware whether we meet the 5 per cent. I know you as a senior legal practitioner in this Republic and former Secretary- General of the ruling party. You can also assist us because you are a lawyer. I expect lawyers to even give pro bono services. Sen. Crystal Asige, I do not know where we can include it in the law to also request that we get pro bono legal services for PWDs. Madam Temporary Speaker, can you believe it that where I come from in Nandi Hills, many workers who pluck tea get injured at work. Their hands are cut off, yet they are only paid peanuts. When they are working in those tea estates in Nandi and across other tea estates, they do not imagine that they can be disabled. I know you have handled such matters especially in Employment and Labour Relations court. I am happy that there is currently a symposium on employment Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC). We have another dangerous silent people that are forcing people to be PWDs, especially in our tea estates. Pangas have led to people are losing their limbs, fingers, eyes et cetera as they do that job. It is very unfortunate. Therefore, I appeal that we should widen. This thing Is not only unique to the people born with, we can also get to it along the way. There is a crisis. I went to labour court and found people who were working in tea farms in many other farms who have lost their limbs, fingers and hands. Madam Temporary Speaker, another killer causing disability is boda boda . I am happy that the President a few months ago gave training for boda bodas and that a number of them including the chairman of Boda Boda Sacco in Nandi attended. If you go to causality in Moi Teaching and referral in Kapsabet, in all our facilities, even here in Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), there must be a person injured by motorbike. I am not saying that boda boda are bad for the country, but we need to teach them so that they cannot continue to injure and course grievous bodily harm. I am the seconder, but my time has been limited. I want to go to the obligation of the counties."
