    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to urge the Members of this House, on behalf of the 6.5 million Kenyans with disabilities, to support this Motion and appointees, so that we can have this Commission up and running. We are going towards 2022 and possibly even before that, there will be a referendum. Whenever there is flare up of political violence, it is we, PWDs, who suffer the most. Some of us are on wheelchairs and whenever there is violence, we are not able to run away from them. Some of us are blind and we may not be able to see the political divisions that are there and may end up going into the hands of our political rivals. So, this Commission will assist the PWDs. That is why I urge the Members to ensure that this Commission is up and running, so that we can instil some discipline in our political leaders and avoid violence. From political violence, people who were not previously PWDs have joined the club. You remember the time when the Deputy Whip of the Minority Party and a few Members joined our club due to political violence. Many others out there also joined the club. Even Hon. 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."
