    "content": "The question would be: Is it that this individual cannot perform the work of an accountant? Maybe he has a bachelor’s or master’s degree or he is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and thus you expect him to peform. It is just that when that building was being conceptualised, the architects never took into consideration the fact that there would be such individuals who would also be employees. This country is lagging behind in creating a favourable environment for persons with disabilities. It was only after the former President Mwai Kibaki was sworn in on a wheelchair that we were able to modify certain places. Indeed, it is only then that the Persons with Disabilities Act came into force. Even when that happened, Sections 21, 22, 23 and 24 of the Act never came into effect immediately when commencement of the other sections was gazetted through Legal Notice No.16 of 2004. These sections put a premium on the Government to ensure that it modifies the various buildings it has so that they accommodate persons with disabilities. These provisions had their tendered regulations; one, relating to public buildings, access to information on television for those people who use Kenya sign language and also relating to public transport. They only came to effect around November, 2010."
