I call upon parents because research has shown that when some parents get children with PWDs, they hide them and do not take them to school. They see it as a curse especially in our African setup. Madam Temporary Speaker, you do not choose the parents you are born to. You also do not choose the children you get. I ask parents across the country to be proud of their children, whether they are living with disability or normal. It does not ... view
• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: are not overlapping, then the private ones are overlapping. They do not care about the PWDs. I am happy a number of matatu touts sometimes help them.

• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: be PWDs. At least we have one Sen. Crystal Asige whom we are proud of. Sen. Asige you should bring a statement on the status of appointments. I do not want you to be biased against just the national Government. You should request the compliance of this Article 54(2) in terms of National Executive.

Can we meet the 5 per cent of our workforce under Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC)? Madam Temporary ... view
