"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to speak to this Motion, which I support. The most critical thing with people with severe disabilities are the caregivers. These are the people who sometimes spend most of their time looking after people with severe disabilities. They need serious support so that the other activities they are involved in, like family affairs, are not stalled. What baffles me is that sometimes the way they channel support to these people is very skewed. I believe it can be moved from the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection to the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD). This is an agency that is established under law to take care of people with disabilities. I am sure they can do a proper survey, identify people with severe disabilities and disburse these funds to them in a proper way. The other thing I want to speak about is that the way through which people are identified to receive funds is not clear. I have tried, even in my own constituency, to ask how many people receive the cash transfer. However, the statistics are not given out properly. I asked for them from the former Principal Secretary, Mr Nelson Marwa, when he was still in the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. He named some people. However, when I went to my constituency, I did not identify any of them. Sometimes, the money is not channelled properly. It is a good programme which needs to be structured properly, so that the benefit goes directly to these people. I also hope that they can increase the amount from what they are being given, so that it caters for more needs. This is something that is very critical and essential.

"content": "identify all people with severe disabilities who should benefit from the cash transfer programme. They should not just pick a few. The numbers are very negligible, and the Government can afford to give support to all the persons living with severe disabilities and their caregivers. I support the Motion and urge that the programme be properly structured. It can benefit more people, especially in the rural areas and in the informal settlements, where most of the people experience hardship. They do not have access to devices that support them. Some of them need things like diapers and specialised wheelchairs, which are sometimes out of reach. If we support the NCPWD with more funding, they can provide better support to these people. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me the chance to speak on this Motion. I support."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support the Motion by my sister, Hon. Dorothy Muthoni. She has done extremely well to remember caregivers of persons with severe disabilities. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 is very clear that everybody has a right to life. Persons with disabilities also have their right in this country. However, they may not do much on their own, especially those with severe disabilities. They need support from families and relatives. The caregivers spend a lot of time with them. Therefore, they may not have their time. I remember children with disabilities. Some parents keep these children in secluded places because of stigma. They do not come out of their homes because they are looked down upon. This mainly affects low-income earners. Therefore, caregivers need to be supported by the Government through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and be given a stipend so that they can support themselves and persons with severe disabilities. Persons living with severe disabilities also need devices. The demand for these devices is very high in Kericho County. As the County Member of Parliament, the allocation from the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) is not enough to provide devices for all persons with severe disabilities. Therefore, if this stipend is given to caregivers, it will, at least, lighten their burden. Some persons living with disabilities need diapers, a clean environment, and medication. Therefore, they need support. Another thing that should also be clear is that some persons living with disabilities are not registered. They need to be registered with the Social Services Department so that they are all assisted and supported. Most caregivers are women, especially those who have children living with disabilities. They need to be given a stipend. Some persons living with disabilities were not born with the disabilities. Some became disabled due to accidents. Therefore, it was not planned. The Government should assist them through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. They should also get an insurance cover. I support this Motion."
