    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the Motion. I thank Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o because it is in very rare cases we get elite members of the public and Members of Parliament to recognise our input. This shows how committed he is towards matters regarding persons with disability. I, therefore, would not hesitate to commend him for his recognition of some efforts made by individuals with disability. I would like to congratulate Sen. Harold Kipchumba for the good initiative he took to help Kenyans in fighting this vice, polio. If his parents and mine, worked on this when we were young, the story would be very different. However, those years, the campaign against Polio was not given any attention. We ended up having a permanent physical disability. We have grown through a lot of hardship. This was a good effort from Sen. Kipchumba, especially his unwavering advocacy and lobbying to various stakeholders. This has resulted to both UNICEF and WHO awarding him. That is very encouraging. With this kind of effort, I ask parents all over the country to support this initiative so that they play a role in preventing any damage occurring to children who are born without any disability.
