    "content": "He is my brother. We appreciate the Motion by Hon. Mwaura as it seeks to alleviate the problems that are faced by people with disability. For it to have the strength, not just to wish that we resolve this problem, it is necessary to pass a law that will direct action to be taken. It is a resolution that this House needs to make to ensure that these actions are taken. It is, in fact, intended to increase personal safety and independence of people with disability, so that they are able to move about even in the community, workplaces, homes and so on. What is important here in this Motion is to ensure that facilities that are available in places like Parliament, for instance, should be able to facilitate Members to move to any part of Parliament buildings so that they can execute their tasks. They should be independent and able to undertake any action that they want. This Motion is very important for us and it is not limited to facilities in places like ours. It should include public institutions where ramps, toilet support equipment and bathrooms should be provided. Public places and even buses should have facilities for people living with disability. Public transport buses should be made to comply to ensure that people with disability are able to board independently, without being supported. In view of the fact that this is a constitutional requirement, we will be going a long way in ensuring that all Kenyans, regardless of their status in the community, enjoy their rights. With those few remarks, I beg to second the amendments. Thank you."
