In the statement, the Senate Majority Leader should:- (1) State whether the Government is aware that PWDs from Kenya and other neighbouring countries are allegedly being trafficked and housed in Nairobi and other major towns in the country. (2) Further state whether the Government is aware that the said PWDs are used by able-bodied people to beg on the streets in Nairobi and other major towns, against articles 28, 30, 43 and 54 of the Constitution. (3) State the measure that the Government has taken or will take to deal with those found culpable of trafficking in PWDs and using the said persons to beg on the streets. (4) Explain the measures that the Government will put in place to repatriate PWDs from the neighbouring countries who are involved in begging on the streets of Nairobi and other major towns. (5) Explain the steps that the Government will take to support Kenyan persons living with disabilities and especially those on the streets to come up with sustainable means of earning a living. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is my first statement but I have another statement to seek. Can I proceed?"
