This is a conveyance of a Petition regarding alignment of laws that concern persons with disabilities. Pursuant to Standing Order No.225(2)(b), I have the following Petition to convey to the House. The Petition is signed by one, Mr. Peter Njuguna, and he is praying that Parliament intervenes to ensure that measures are instituted to provide for disability and special needs assessment to address cases of impairment at formative stages. The Petitioner also requests that the Persons with Disabilities Act and the Basic Education Act are harmonized to conform to the International Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Constitution. Hon. Members, this Petition, therefore, stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for consideration. The Committee is requested to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House in accordance to Standing Order No.227(2). The Committee is at liberty to liaise with the Joint Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity in the course of considering the Petition. I thank you."
