    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know massage is all about feeling. It is only that you have to control them because sometimes they can go to some wrong places as they massage you. You have to advise them. I support this Report and ask the Committee to make sure that they consider persons with disabilities. It is very shameful when Parliament that makes laws is the one that is not accessible to persons with disabilities. Imagine one ramp in the whole of this building. When you come from the front, you have to be carried unless you are taken all the way to the behind. There is only one lift in the whole of Parliament Building that is shared by the National Assembly and the Senate. Surely, must I come from one end throughout? All buildings should be accessible. This is not a privilege or something that we are requesting. We are politely demanding because it is in law. It is provided in Article 54 of our Constitution and the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003. It is also in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which Kenya ratified in 2008. Therefore, it is domesticated and it is part of our laws. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
