support. I do not want to name the family, but I once visited them after campus and later realized they had a child with disability.

Kenyans and Africans, we had a heart of providing for everybody. It is sad that most of these organisations that support PWDs are sponsored by people who run charitable organisations. The provision of learning material, braille and sign language services are being done by the sponsors. What society are we if we can leave some part of the population to the mercy of charity? The Government must take this issue with the seriousness it deserves. We have challenges even in feeding. In Ndalat we have someone who does not have legs and hands who runs and he is called Job. ...

This is a straightforward Bill. I thank the many Senators and the Committee that gave invaluable advice and report on this Employment (Amendment) Bill 2022. I want to thank Sen. Okiya Omtatah who seconded the Bill, among other Senators. In conclusion, this Bill has generated a lot of misinformation and miscommunication. The right to disconnect will be guided by the law. Many people such as the Federation of Kenya Employers and Central Organisation of Trade Union, among others, have raised concern about this Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to learn a lot of remote ...
