    "content": " Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Speaker. Firstly, I rise to support this Motion on providing a safety net for caregivers of persons with severe disabilities by Hon. Dorothy. I also support her consideration for the caregivers who are taking care of PWDs. Hon. Temporary Speaker, disability is not inability. Most of those people are just physically disabled but not spiritually. Gone are the days when PWDs were discriminated against. There was stigma aimed at them. The Kenyan Constitution as promulgated in 2010 in Article 27 protects PWDs by providing for equality and freedom from discrimination. Further, Article 54(1)(e) advocates for access of materials and devices that will help PWDs to be independent. Therefore, caregivers of persons with disabilities do not do any other job for gain but to take care of PWDs. Therefore, it is in the interest of this nation and Kenyans to set aside a good amount of money to pay caregivers of PWDs. Literally, they do not report to their jobs as usual, but they are grounded while taking care of their loved ones. To motivate them and ensure they provide proper services to PWDs, it is very much in order for the Government to set aside a budget so that they are well remunerated. Thank you and God bless you."
