    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This Motion is borne out of the fact that buildings in this country are inaccessible to persons with disabilities. Accessibility is extremely critical to the participation of individuals with disabilities in societies. I take note, for example, that 15 per cent of all people in Kenya have one form of disability or another. A majority of them are those with mobility difficulties. They are not able to move by themselves or perform functions at various instances, not necessarily because they are not able to do them but because they cannot access the very spaces in which they are supposed to perform those functions. Let me give an example. If a person who is qualified in accounts is invited for interview on the fourth floor of a building that has no lift, even if people offered to push his wheelchair upstairs--- First and foremost, that is indignity. Persons with disabilities face a lot of indignity when they do not access public spaces. When that individual goes for interview, the first challenge would be the attitude of the interviewers. Most reasonably, they would ask themselves: If we have offices on the fourth floor, how will this individual actually come to work?"
