    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I am reminded of Dr. Reginald Oduor, who is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nairobi (UoN). He taught at the Kenyatta University (KU), but when he was applying for that position at the UoN, the panel could not help, but ask him how he will mark examinations, yet he had always marked papers. Recently we had a meeting at the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) – Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve can remember – and we have been able to successfully push for every PWD within the public service to get an aide equivalent to the position that they hold. Therefore, it is a question of also facilitating PWDs to perform their duties. That way, if you look at it from a social welfare model, you are then reducing the burden of the State in having to take care of these individuals through these programmes such as the Cash Transfer and Inua Jamii, et cetera . This is because if you can give somebody some work and they can deliver, then you do not have to take care of them by giving them alms or handouts. In fact, when you employ a PWD and keep him or her in the public service, it is not a handout, but a hand-up. Madam Temporary Speaker, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished Senators, I implore you to consider this Motion because it is not a superfluous, unnecessary or a 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."
