    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, also if you look at people with disabilities, there is the pending appointment of the board of the National Council for Persons with Disabilities. This Parliament has voted over Kshs.1.3 billion to this institution, which is an implementing agency, yet this money is going to go back to Treasury unutilised because of lack of a board that would make decisions on the priorities the money is supposed to be spent on. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is also another concern about the movement of goods and services in this country. There are new regulations which hinder participation of persons with disabilities; carriers have been outlawed, yet people with mobility difficulties like the physically disabled need to move with their wheelchairs. They cannot go on long distances; this is something that really needs to be reviewed going forward, if they are to effectively participate in the development of the economy, and also in the spirit of inclusiveness, as per Article 10(2) of the Constitution. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is also the issue of integrity and accountability. The Jubilee administration is struggling with the perception and politics is about perception."
