    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to congratulate Sen. Omanga. There are different types of disorders; some people have disorders but are able to walk, while others cannot sit properly. The motor and neurological disorders are the worst disorders, and they are usually connected to psychiatric issues. Motor disorders have to do with the movement and lack of proper movement. They are connected with diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, late syndrome and primary dystonia, which all affect someone’s movement. However, from most of the research that has been done about these diseases, they are connected to psychiatric cognition, which makes them problematic. Parkinson's disease or Huntington's disease can also affect one’s brain and even the neuron, hence they become neurological diseases which create a lot of problems. We have about 600 diseases that can affect another system, and this includes brain tumours, epilepsy, stroke, frontotemporal dementia – which has to do with forgetting of things in the mind – and Alzheimers disease. We all know what it means to have these diseases. The condition of life of the people with these diseases, their health and social cultural outcome cuts their potential of doing many things. It cuts their employment potential and productivity level, unless aid is given to them. These people are very productive and we should have policies put in place as recommended by Sen. M. Kajwang’. Madam Temporary Speaker, it has been said on the Floor of this House that somebody cannot choose to have a disorder. Potentially, any of us can suffer these disorders. Therefore, it is important to have a proper policy framework in place right 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."
