    "content": "I came to this House in 2013. You remember very well because you were here. I did not have disability then. However, a year later, in 2014, I got a disability. As I listened to Hon. Kioni talk about these amendments, I felt like they touch me because I am a Member of Parliament who has campaigned with a disability. I could not make it simply because of these factors, among others. Considering persons with special needs, as far as political processes are concerned, is very important. Persons living with disabilities usually take the longest routes to maneuverer through the political process to Parliament and leadership positions in this country. It is not a lie. We cannot lie here. We have to give prominence and attention to persons living with disabilities. It is a fact that if you are living with disabilities, even if you are the best candidate or the only choice that people have, you will not get an opportunity to contest because of your state. I am happy that we are discussing this amendment Bill. Millions of Kenyans living with disabilities and other special needs are listening to what we are debating in this House."
