    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to thank the Mover of this Motion, Sen. Khaniri. The Motion is on Registration of PWDs. It is crucial for these people to be known. This is because some of the special children with disabilities are locked up in homes. So, mandatory registration will force parents to bring these children out and the Government can assist them to go to school. Article 54 of the Constitution provides that no one should be left behind, especially the PWDs. They also have rights like everyone else. We should know where they are, so that we can reach to them at their point of need. The other reason why it is important that we register the PWDs is the issue of the political parties’ nomination lists. In the counties, we expect the PWDs, women and youth, to be among the people who are nominated into the county assemblies. However, only 17 counties have nominated Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) who are PWDs. When you ask political parties about this issue, they will answer: “Where are these PWDs? Tutawapata wapi ? Where will we get them to put them on the party nomination list?” I do not want get into a language that I will not finish with. So, I will continue in English."
