"content": "of the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) certificates and also the advertisement of tenders; so that we use the facilities of e-government for transparency and accountability. Otherwise, this report clearly shows a very sorry state of the plight of PWDs in this regard. In fact, that is why we have petitioned the Government – and I would want to be on record – to allocate Kshs1 billion under the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) for Local Purchase Order (LPO) financing for businesses owned by PWDs. We intend to pursue that. I would indulge that we get the support from the hon. Members of the Senate so that these 1,200 can increase because the issue about collateral and capital is giving us this dismal performance of these otherwise disadvantaged groups of people. This is in the spirit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where you start with the furthest and leave no one behind. We should start with the farthest which happens to be PWDs."
