    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is some of the background history that we need to put in place, so that we are able to understand what we are trying to achieve. These are some of the things that we are trying to achieve, in the modern way of achieving things, and not in the outdated way of doing things. We are putting laws in place, which are supposed to achieve certain things. When we say that we have created a law to cater for disability, we should ensure that it states that workers with disabilities should be able to access a building on a wheel chair. However, some buildings do not have a provision for people on wheel chairs to access them. In such cases, we are disadvantaging people with disabilities. Therefore, when we creating a board in an institution, we should ensure that people with disability, women and youth are represented. These are some of the things that we are trying to put into perspective. Otherwise, we will have what we call an elitist situation, where we shall only be hand-picking the elites and forgetting the other people down the line. We should create boards which can interlink with one another. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I have gone through all that I wanted to talk about. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
