    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank the Senate for the good spirit in terms of their concurrence with us on this Bill. Particularly, I wish to thank hon. Sakaja. He has represented the youth of this country very well in this House. I must say that we are very proud of him for the role that he is playing in terms of representing the youth and ensuring that these kinds of legislations that touch on their interest is pushed through. I call on His Excellency the President to sign this into law. This sends a message to the youth of this country, the women and persons living with disability to do their bit and register themselves into organised groups or companies that can benefit from the Government resources as per this law. On the same breadth, I call on the Government agencies to ensure that we make the process easy for those persons to register themselves. Remember that most of the youth and the disadvantaged persons here do not have the financial capability to register. One of the youth in my constituency whose name I mentioned earlier, wishing to register a company as a disabled person was asked for Kshs.50,000. Where will this person get that money? I suggest that as future improvement, we waive charges of registration for persons with disabilities and youth so that those groups can register companies and benefit from this. I thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity."
