    "content": "Pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare concerning compliance to article 54 (2) of the Constitution on representation of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) to elective and appointive bodies. In the Statement, the Committee should- (i) Table a detailed report indicating how many members of the public living with disabilities have been hired, appointed and promoted in the public sector in the last three years. (ii) Explain the state of implementation of the constitutional provision that provides for progressive implementation of the principle that at least 5 percent of members of the public in elective and appointive bodies are persons with disabilities. Allow me to comment that even though Article 54 (2) of the Constitution says that there is need to have PWDs in elective and appointive positions, quite a number of them are still not employed and this constitutional requirement is not being defended strongly. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
