"content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for permitting me to talk on this very important Bill. The issue of persons with disabilities has engaged me since I was the Attorney General. I remember driving along Ngong Road and contemplating what my legacy would be. I decided to have four task forces to deal with all laws relating to; women, children, workers and persons with disabilities. On the task force on persons with disabilities, I decided to appoint persons with disabilities, and came very close to seeing the challenges that face persons with disabilities. Although we had budgeted for the task force in the ordinary way, it became very clear when they first came; first, that we should double the amount to the task force because each person with disability had to have an aid. Secondly, we discovered that my building at the State Law Office was not friendly to persons with disabilities. That is why we constructed a ramp. This issue of persons with disabilities having access to buildings had been dealt with by a task force appointed by former President Daniel Toroitch Arap Moi. It was headed by an architect called Mr. Mutiso."
