    "content": " I thank the Cabinet Secretary for the well-detailed answers to the questions. Cabinet Secretary, you have taken good measures to ensure that PWDs have their rights. Are you going to put a time frame for implementing these policies? We have good laws regarding the rights of PWDs but the issue is enforcement. Enforcement is not being done. Has the National Council for People with Disabilities registered all PWDs in the country? The answer is no. The PWDs are being requested to pay a certain amount—which they do not have—for them to be registered. When we talk about PWDs, we want them to be mainstreamed in terms of employment opportunities, access to education, access to health, and other social amenities. We have a very big gap because we first need to have a database of their official registration so that in case of opportunities, we can pick them easily. On the issue of budgeting, there has to be a legal framework to ensure that there is a budget that is allocated to PWDs. This will ensure that their rights are not violated as they have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
