    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this very important Petition from Sen. Mwaura. This morning at about 6 a.m., Sen. Mwaura made a very passionate Facebook post and I read it. It was about his experience in his former school. I have known Sen. Mwaura since the days when we were agitating for the Constitution and the youth issues. If there is a person who has remained true to his calling and is a true defender of persons living with disabilities, then it is Sen. Mwaura. I have no doubt that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve is doing the same and many others have done it, but Sen. Mwaura, who I have known for over 16 years has remained consistent in fighting for the interest and desire to mainstream persons with disabilities. Two days ago, I saw an alert that the court had cleared the way for CBK to print new currency which is something good. The Petition is timed to be for a very long time. In the interim period, a letter will come from your office to the CBK or even through the Committee once the Petition is committed to the relevant Committee. If you commit it to the Committee on Finance and Budget, their first assignment will be to call the CBK Governor to ask him if they have incorporated those features in the new currency that they are going to produce. In a small way, we will keep changing the world one step at a time. The next thing is to also require our Committee in charge of infrastructure to demand that all buildings that are not friendly to persons with disability, by not having lifts or ramps to be used, should as a matter of right, be marked for demolition. The owners and the developers should be given a notice of maybe 30 or 60 days to comply. It is now a legal requirement that all the buildings be compliant to accommodate persons with disabilities."
