    "content": "Hon. Member, I know you are making this debate lively because it is around lunch time. You are referring to delinquent Members or Members who throw tantrums. How is that related to issues of disability? Order, Members! I cannot trace which constituency you come from. Peris Tobiko is the Member for Kajiado East. Do not put up your hand because you are sitting next to her and you have just arrived. She has brought to my attention something which has been lingering in my mind, Hon. Isaac Mwaura. I want us to dispose of this. Your Motion is placing responsibility on an agency which, in law, does not bear that burden. That is what has been running through my mind throughout, even before the amendment by Hon. Nyikal. Everything here seems to be alright until one gets to the last sentence which states:- “---and that the National Council of Persons with Disabilities approves all new public structures to ensure their designs are compliant to minimum accessibility standards.” I have asked the Clerk-at-the-Table to bring a copy of the Persons with Disabilities Act under which that Council has been set up. In Section 7, its functions do not include what you are asking them to do. In the National Construction Authority Act Section 5(2) under the functions of the Authority, you will find that the Authority has powers to accomplish what you are proposing. I do not want to waste time on this. Is it possible to quickly amend this Motion so that we give the responsibility to the correct body that has the structure and tools to deal with that information as guided by the law? This is something which the proposer of the Motion would be better placed to deal with. Nominated Member, can you put your card in the intervention slot? I need to recognise you.
