    "content": "I have gone through the current Bill. Maybe, during the Committee of the whole House Stage, we might come up with amendments to improve it and make it better than it is now. The people who need special attention are the disabled. We had one in the 11th Parliament and another one in the 12th Parliament. Why should we only have one and yet they are many? We had better increase the number to two so that as one articulates an issue, another one can come in and add what the other one left out. This weekend, I was in my constituency. We went to a school called St. Francis for the visually impaired. We took a bus there bought by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). Everybody knows the Member representing the disabled - Member 001. Everybody appreciates what he does. I gave him an opportunity to communicate with those people. If there were two of them - a man and a lady - they could help each other. When we were there, they were asking him to go to Kapenguria, Lodwar and other places. He cannot make it as one person. Those are the areas we should consider. Those small communities that cannot even make up a ward are also special interest groups. If you come to my constituency, the popular community there is the Pokots. We also have Turkanas and other groups which need somebody to represent them in the House. Those are some of the areas this House should address more. I support the Bill."
