    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your generosity. Much of the population of people living with disability are in rural communities and yet, our institutions are based in urban centres. This Report falls short of telling us that it is those institutions that should be devolved to rural communities to mainstream more people with disability. The nature of disability is an issue. Mental wellness is a global concern among people today. Such people cannot be mainstreamed or given gainful employment. So, how should the Government conduct itself moving forward? It should build capacity and place persons with disabilities in jobs and make sure that they are capacitated, more so, trained on soft skills so that we can upscale their numbers with time. The most important thing as we speak is that we have laws. We cannot infinitely be making laws, as a House, that are not implemented. They must be implemented. Kenya has a problem with implementation of laws. The law on persons with disabilities is comprehensive. If only we could have implemented it fully, we could be better than we are today."
