    "content": "But this is a very good idea because in the African setup, we are supposed to be our brother’s keeper especially to these disadvantaged people. We are supposed to provide more for them than those who are a bit healthy or those who can do many of the activities without a lot of difficulties. So, for me, this is a very good idea and we should do more, especially to identify many more of the PWDs, because as my colleagues have said, many are hidden by their parents or relatives. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if we provide the NHIF to all of them, it will help us because you will agree with me that many of the Harambees we attend are for the people who are disabled. I would encourage that we set aside some amount of money so that we can be remitting to NHIF on behalf of these people. However, that will not be enough; we should even go ahead and create a fund just as we have done for the old people. I do not know much about the disabled, but Daktari will tell you they are classified. There are those who are considered more disabled than others. For example, if someone does not have both legs, you cannot classify them with a person who does not have one eye. I want to suggest that for the people who are more disabled than the others by the classification, we should at least provide a fund for them as we do for the old people. Being an African society that advocates being our brother’s keeper, through the fund, we will take care of many of them who are hidden. If you are living with a disabled person, you will be able to bring them forth to be assisted. As a result, the harambees we conduct on behalf of PWDs will reduce. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
