    "content": "I have gone to other countries and realized that things are different over there. You will find that all the lifts have braille, so one just needs to touch and press the floor where they are going to. Those lifts also read out the floors, so someone will know when they should be alighting. We are getting there, but we cannot let the private sector and the public sector do it under goodwill. Therefore, we will give guidelines as Government on what is expected. Ramps have been well enforced all over. I like what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale talked about. He said that people living with disability have been included and are part of this House. I am sure the Members of this House know that if they are to be on a wheelchair today, they cannot do a banking transaction at an ATM machine in Nairobi. They will have to ask somebody for help. This is because the ATMs are made for people who are able-bodied. Majority of people on wheelchairs cannot reach the ATMs. Countries such as Australia and England have ATMs that consider the lives of people who are living with disabilities. We also need to do that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
