    "content": "Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to, first of all, thank Hon. Nyikal for the amendment that he has moved. But even as I thank him and support his amendment, what you have just said is very important. If, as a House, we resolve that the Government makes the necessary structural adjustments, it will simply mean that action should be taken immediately. But this sort of right ought to be sanctioned in a progressive manner. I think one of the things that Hon. Nyikal needs to consider is adding the words “progressively adjusting the structural adjustments”. Otherwise, it is not possible to realize the economic and cultural rights or the rights of marginalized persons through his proposal. I would like us to be fairly clear. It is possible that the intention of this particular Motion is very good. As Hon. Tim Wanyonyi spoke, some things already existed in law. These are the only things that are lacking in terms of implementation. The best way forward, as we try to implement these things, is to, for instance, ensure that the National Construction Authority (NCA), who have the particular mandate of ensuring that physical places are accessible to people with disability, respond to Parliament. A Motion of this kind can even be subjected to the Committee on Implementation. It can be canvassed by the NCA when they appear before the Committee to explain what they have done to meet their constitutional obligations. What Hon. Nyikal has done is good because it gives life to the Motion."
