    "content": "equal to others, and with equal access to services and facilities that are responsive to their needs; NOTING THAT, unlike current trends around the world, employers in Kenya are not incentivized to employ Persons with Disabilities and, therefore, most public organizations and parastatals have not yet achieved the threshold of Article 54(2) of the Kenyan Constitution that obligates 5% appointment of PWDs in elective and appointive positions; CONCERNED THAT, Article 27(e) of the UNCRPD advocates for party states, of which Kenya is one, to promote employment opportunities and career advancements of PWDs in the labour market as well as assistance in finding, obtaining, maintaining and returning to employment; NOW THEREFORE; the Senate calls upon the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and county governments to develop a policy to ensure that: 1. PWDs in gainful employment in public service retire at the age of 65 years instead of 60 years; and, 2. PWDs in academia, such as Universities and colleges retire at the age of 75 years, instead of 70 years. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
