I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 46(2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee on the alleged abuse of human rights of persons with disabilities. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) State whether the Government is aware that persons with disabilities from Kenya and other neighboring 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 persons with disabilities are used by able bodied people to beg on the streets in Nairobi City and other major towns, against Articles 28, 30, 43 and 54 of the Constitution. (3) State the measures that the Government has taken or will take to deal with those found culpable of trafficking persons with disabilities and using the said persons to beg on the streets. (4) Explain the measures that the Government will put in place to repatriate persons with disabilities from the neighboring countries who are involved in begging on the streets of Nairobi and other major towns.
