    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First and foremost, I would like to express my appreciation to my colleagues for their contributions, offering suggestions, and enriching the Report. This will ensure that anyone who reads the Hansard alongside the Report will understand what is necessary and what the NCPWD can do. I am also happy for the presentation made by Hon. Kuria Kimani, particularly in Kiswahili. It is very tricky to get a man of numbers, expressing the numbers in Kiswahili. It is a good indication that some of us are bilingual and multilingual. I commend the Eoman Representative for Kiambu for her contributions, especially regarding the devolution of the Council’s activities. The Council should not just assume that Nairobi is the base; they should think of devolving their services. Additionally, I thank the County Woman Representative for Busia for seconding this Motion. Her contributions are commendable and enrich our discussion alongside those from the Member for Matayos. The Auditor-General is not the only one who has recognised the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities; even the Member for Matayos has acknowledged these issues. The question is: What can we do as a House? Now that we have the Report, I hope the Committee on Implementation will take it up resolutely and manage its progress so that within 60 days, they ensure that implementation takes place. Budget cycles should be checked to ensure that when the budget is brought to this House, there is something positive towards the Council so that we move together as one. Hon. Temporary Speaker, let us remember that when we say we are giving stipends and we rationalise it at Ksh2,000, this is only for the elderly. A mother, for example, has other people depending on her. But a person with disability is the principal and is the person we are supporting who has no one else to himself or herself. Therefore, that difference has not been made. I want to thank my colleagues for supporting my Report. I beg to reply."
