    "content": "respect and dignity when you must rely on others for everything. You should move by yourself, feel respected and speak as people listen to you. That should not be because of your disability, but because you talk as a human being. So, the respect and dignity is very critical and that is the mood that should always be there. As projects are being monitored and evaluated and the progress is being sought, we should ensure that the respect and dignity is upheld and that is very critical. There is also need to advise the governors on the various measures and interventions that need to be put into place and how to come up with programmes for socio-economic development. I remember there was a big project sometime back at Bombolulu Handicraft. A lot of material fabric came from Bombolulu Workshop for the Handicapped. Dresses were being made and marketed abroad. I do not see as much activity in that direction. What is happening to such a critical industry? At the end of the day, like any other person, you want to meet your social and economic needs. You must be capacitated in one way or another and have programmes that will guide you in order to fulfill those specific considerations. That is also critical. Apart from the issue of vetting of the two officers who will be appointed by the governor, the composition of that particular committee is okay. I hope the committees will be spread across all the 47 counties. That also creates the issue of collaboration between the 47 counties. I am sure they will have programmes that are more or less the same. So, it is very important for us to have a sense of exactly what goes on within and between counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I end my contribution, the representation on labour, devolution, education and health is an addition to the initial Act that brings more value. I support."
