    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have looked at this Sessional Paper, which I support. I have not seen the issue of persons with disabilities come out very conspicuously. When you look at different topics, the issue of persons with disabilities has been put under vulnerable persons where they have also put unemployment and several issues. I would like to see the issue of persons with disabilities come out strongly in the next Sessional Paper. Employment is being redefined today because we have realised that we have full-time caregivers. There is a mother to an autistic child who does nothing but look after her child. In future, we should amend the law on employment of persons with disabilities and add their caregivers. Time and again, we have heard the Executive saying they are negotiating for employment in country A, where our 200 youths will be sent. In the next sessional paper, I also expect to see the number of Kenyans living abroad grow both settled and unsettled. How many Kenyans are in Canada or Uganda? This is because resources follow population. So, it is upon us to accurately attend to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our futuristic vision, by knowing how many we are. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support and congratulate Hon. Kimani and his team, for the very good job they have done."
