    "content": "(Hon. (Dr.) Mutua): Good morning, and thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you very much, Sen. Mbugua for this wonderful Question and the Senate for giving us an opportunity to talk about this very important issue. Before I read my statement, I congratulate Sen. Crystal Asige for pushing and ensuring that we have a very good updated Disability Act. It was very pleasing when we went to State House and the President assented the Bill. My response is as follows- The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, through the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs, is mandated to create and enforce policies that protect the rights, welfare and dignity of all citizens with a special focus on marginalised and vulnerable populations, including persons with disabilities. The Government is committed to disability inclusion in the implementation of all its programmes and has put in place policies and measures that are geared towards the improvement of livelihoods, economic empowerment and improved living standards for persons with disabilities, both at county and national levels. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
