    "content": "themselves to take care of persons with disabilities in various communities. They should be compensated and supported. There is no way we can take care of our people except within the law. Currently, there are various legislative proposals in both the Senate and the National Assembly. Others are by individual Members and others are through Bills sponsored by the Government. Of major attention is the Bill to amend the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003, which is the main one. I appeal because it has been taken over by the Government. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection is sponsoring that Bill. I request the Leader of the Majority Party to bring that Bill to the House. I appeal that Parliament harmonises all the proposals into an omnibus Bill so that we can address it, instead of having a scattered approach. I may not have to belabour much about the details that Members have exhausted as we considered it this morning. Finally, the Executive should revisit the census for persons with disability. We have voiced on different platforms that the census of 2019 never took into proper consideration the proper way and approach of carrying out a census in this country. A misleading percentage that will mislead the budgeting process in our country was brought about. I contribute and support the Motion. Thank you for giving me the opportunity."
