    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I want to thank Sen. Khaniri and Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve because they continue to enlighten me on the plight of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). If I am being enlightened, I am sure other Kenyans are also being enlightened. As I said last time, we tend to live in a bubble; unless you are directly affected, you do not get to think about the other people. It is shocking that the PWDs go through this registration challenge. In fact, it is unbelievable that we have Kenyans in our new constitutional dispensation having a challenge in registration. I cannot believe it. We have four million PWDs; actually, if they came together as a voting bloc, they would sway the election outcomes. Maybe we should think of them that way so that we take everything about them seriously. It is shocking that in a country that prides itself as being advanced we lag behind in some basic things like recognition of human rights, which is in the heart of our new Constitution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
