    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I go to the real challenge of this Bill, let me speak to my own experience. We have to be very careful when we are growing up children and fellowshipping with the society. We need to look at legislation to support PWDs to mean giving them an opportunity, but not profiling them as people who are lesser human than the others. Why do I say this? It is because the man who taught me Mathematics, Mr. David Mgaisi Asutsi, was living with disability. He taught me Mathematics and helped me to get Distinction One in Mathematics. I thank him, and may his soul rest in eternal peace. He helped me to get 100 per cent in Mathematics in that exam, the alternative is A. In my office in Kakamega, I have employed Mr. Ignatius. Mr. Ignatius is a one- legged youth, but I have never seen a greater bullfighter than that boy. He can go into bullfighting, what we call mongara. Mongara is the equivalent in rugby, where you go in the most dangerous circle. Mr. Ignatius will go in and come out of bullfighting with no injury, yet he has one leg. He is a great bullfighter. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, because of the challenges of politics, I was attacked by goons in my home and they went for my son and gouged out his eye when he was five years old. Today, we have grown him up so that he does not believe he is a lesser human being because he lost his one eye. We told him that he can be what all other youths can be. Today, the boy is a high-profile auditor employed by the National Government of Kenya, in charge of one of the counties here in Kenya. He even holds a Master's degree in that profession. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I now want to plead with Sen. Crystal Asige. Sen. Crystal Asige, listen to your Bill. You are saying you seek to amend Section 177 (c) of the Constitution of Kenya. Right?"
