"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I just wanted to bring to the attention of the House that today is the World Disability Day. It is a day that persons with disability celebrate the gains that they have got in their respective countries. Kenya ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disability (PWDs) in 2008. However, what we have already gained as PWDs seems to have retracted because none of the Members of this House has taken part in today’s World Disability Day. Hon. Speaker, it is very important that we celebrate with our brothers and sisters because they are also part of our constituents. Even on the issue of BBI, we are marginalised just as are women. So, if a governor is male, then the deputy governor should either be a female or a PWD.We cannot leave out PWDs and yet, we normally group them in the Affirmative Action Group. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
