    "content": "Today is a great day. While we were observing the International Day for Persons with Disabilities, at the National Assembly we were also debating this Bill. When I took over as the Committee Chair, we realised that every time money was set aside for the NCPWD, it would reach a point where development budget would be slashed without asking the Council what the money was meant to do. Because it was capital expenditure, they would deduct development money across the Ministry. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as a Committee, we pushed for the capital expenditure to be removed, and then we put that money as recurrent expenditure. You cannot understand when you are told that buying assistive devices or sunscreen for people with albinism, and money for registration are development expenditures. I know where you come from, people travel far and wide to be registered as PWDs. As we speak today, they do it online. You do not travel across counties or the country to be registered. This is a milestone."
