    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is my question to the Cabinet Secretary. In her submissions, she has said that the NCPWD are providing assistive devices and the Ministry is moving towards technology in terms of making sure that PWDs can access services. I would like to know from the Cabinet Secretary, how much of Government services and information has been transformed to braille so that those who are visually impaired can access those services. Also, have digital devices with braille capability been availed in various Ministry departments particularly Huduma Centres to make sure that people with visual impairment are able to access service. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with that, we had a meeting with NCPWD. Their budget for assistive devices is a meagre Kshs48 million. I do not know how that will provide assistive devices for PWDs across the nation. It will be prudent to also lay your problems in Parliament so that during the budget-making process, adequate resources can be availed. This is because a nation can only be measured on how it takes care of its vulnerable."
