    "content": "I thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to congratulate the Mover, hon. (Ms.) Muhia, and the amendments brought by hon. Mwaura and myself. The Persons with Disabilities Act needs a total overhaul because there are so many provisions in that Act that are not in line with the Constitution. We need to amend the Act to align it with the Constitution. Kenya has signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. So, we must be alive to these issues when we are debating and dealing with matters of persons with disabilities. These amendments are very important. We need to look into this Act and make sure that all the other provisions that are not in line with the Constitution are aligned with the Constitution. I beg to support."
