    "content": "first ever caucus of people with disabilities (KEDIPA) just trying to make sure that our voice has actually been heard. Others include engaging governments in terms of creating programmes that will be inclusive, for example, the very successful inclusion of persons with disabilities in the National Youth Service (NYS) through use of a platform like the Budget and Appropriations Committee. This has more than doubled the allocations to persons with disabilities from Kshs770 million to Kshs1.8 billion. Legislative proposals have since been passed like increasing the retirement age of persons with disabilities from 60 to 65 years; equating Kenyan sign language to English and Kiswahili and very many other things that we have accomplished because of this platform. I conclude by saying two important things; that I have come to the sad conclusion that indeed leaders are never elected sometimes because of the work that they do. So, it is incumbent upon us as leaders to continuously do that we need to do in terms of our vision in order to secure a greater Kenya. We must not tie our good deeds to being re-elected in Parliament for leadership, but invariably because of capacity to transform society. I thank you."
