    "content": "THAT, aware that Article 54 (c) of the Constitution provides that a person with disability is entitled to reasonable access to all places, public transport and information; further aware that Section 21 of the Persons with Disability Act, 2003 provides that persons with disabilities are entitled to a barrier-free and disability-friendly environment to enable them have access to buildings, roads and other social amenities, assistive devices and other equipment to promote their mobility; concerned that over the years, persons with disabilities have not been given the right to enjoy all their fundamental freedoms; cognizant of the fact that accessibility is vital in increasing the mobility of these individuals and reducing the ratio of dependency on people; this House urges that the Government develops a clear plan of action to ensure the necessary structural adjustments to all public buildings and that the National Construction Authority only approves designs for new public structures that are compliant with the minimum accessibility standards (KS 21542) for persons with disabilities."
