    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity this afternoon, as we close the Session. First, I wish to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for bringing this very important Motion, which seeks an extension of the retirement age for PWDs in the public service and the academic realm. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and Sen. Mwaura have passionately presented and supported it. Therefore, with equal strength and might, I will endevour to support it. It is clear that the Mover of the Motion has given a nice synthesis of the international laws that deals with persons with such challenges. She has cited Article 19, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and our local position where we have domesticated the similar international law. In replica, Article 54(2) of the Constitution of Kenya has bequeathed a marginal percentage 5 per cent. However, when the opportunity to revisit the amendment of the Constitution knocks the door, we will need to double or triple it, so that persons who have that challenge can benefit."
