    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate the Mover of this Bill, my sister hon. (Ms.) Wanjiku Muhia. This is a very timely Bill for persons living with disability in this country. What she has proposed in this amendment Bill will go a long away in helping our people living with disabilities get the services they require. They have been forgotten for a very long time. We have buildings, for example Parliament, whose certain areas are not accessible to disabled people in our society. With this Bill, it should be mandatory that every public place is accessible by the disabled. Not just to the physically disabled persons, but to even all those visually impaired, the deaf and the dumb. That is what has been lacking in this country. There should be a will to implement this kind of law in buildings; people should take cognizance of the truth that disability is not inability. It is not by choice that people are disabled; it is the way they are born or something happened to them. For example, they could have been involved in an accident or something of the sort."
