Allow me to now tackle the second Question from Sen. Mbugua on PwDs. It is the policy of NYS to reserve up to 20 per cent of all the recruitment to PwDs because some of the commercial activities we will be undertaking will be undertaken properly by PwDs. We have some PwDs working with our garment and apparel manufacturing units at NYS. It is already providing the bulk of the uniforms that our police, Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and Kenya Wildlife Rangers are using. We are going to expand on that as we do all these activities including business process outsourcing. Recently, you saw KRA recruit revenue service agents from across the country to work with tax payers to expand the tax base. The KRA has requested NYS to undertake this service on behalf of KRA, thus providing even much more opportunities for our young people. In doing so, we are also going to establish a very huge back office to support huge bodies such as KRA and the customs scanning which they are ready to give us. The Ministry of Lands and the Judiciary will give us the function of digitalisation of lands and court records respectively. All these institutions can give us jobs, which can be done not only by people who are able bodied but also PwDs. Sen. Mbugua, I assure you that, if I receive your application to join the service, I will give it consideration given that we were together in high school. The only thing is that it is unfortunate you are past the recruitment age. I submit."
