    "content": "marginalised. We have to ensure that we create mechanisms to bring the people who are left behind to be the first ones. That is why the public service must give an audit with regard to numbers and percentages of persons with disabilities who are employed in the ministries. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we cannot talk about telling donors and Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to ensure employability of persons living with disabilities (PWDs), when our own Government does not employ, train and empower them to work in offices. We must make things easier for PWDs to live in this country. That is why I am very angry. We need to be very serious. We need to redo the Population and Housing Census of this country, in order to provide opportunities. Who employs PWDs in this country? I want to get an answer because if you go to every ministry when they are employing, they indicate that PWDs are encouraged to apply. When you are encouraged to apply and you apply, who employs you? If you go to those offices, you will not find PWDs and their infrastructure is wanting. The PWDs do not sit before a panel of interviewers to be interviewed. We have done poorly when it comes to PWDs. We cannot preach water and drink wine. The PWDs need employment in this country. They must be seen in every ministry before we tell Safaricom or Airtel to employ them. We have to be serious with them."
