I appreciate the fact that there are many Kenyans who may have a problem and become disabled. Some with temporary disabilities. I agree with Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve that we must pass this law. You never know with the accidents that happen every here and there. Many people who were able bodied are now disabled. Somebody can become disabled because of many other diseases such as cancer. Madam Deputy Speaker, let me say these three things so that I also allow my colleagues to contribute. We have talked about the infrastructure. We, as Kenyans, also need to appreciate that to get ...

not understand. I thought she meant that they are not disability friendly. I hope it was not, “like this and this.” The point I am trying to make is that preparing a ramp for access at ECDE center does not even need a rocket scientist. I have seen that they even have a disable Chief Executive Officer (CEO). They should put in place mechanisms of accessing those classrooms The county governments are the ones starting most of the ECD and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVETs) centers. There are learners with disability who go to these TVETs. I expect ...

on the ban of export and dealings in scrap metal in Kenya. It is worth noting that people who deal in scrap metal business are approximately three million Kenyans. In the Statement, the committee should- (1) State the policy behind the indefinite and inconsiderate ban on scrap metal export and dealings in Kenya, giving reasons for the move. (2) State whether relevant stakeholders in the industry were involved. (3) State the number of culprits that have been brought to book concerning vandalism and malpractices to protect the sector instead of the total ban, which is causing joblessness, anguish, pain and ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir for this opportunity. I thank the acting Chairperson of the Committee on National Security Defence and Foreign Relations. I saw an advertisement on television today that he wants to be the Governor of Kisumu County. My condolences to the family of Ms. Joannah Stuchbury. It is unfortunate that she was murdered for her efforts in protection of the environment. The Chairperson of the Committee must be serious because his Committee has failed to tell the House two things. First, in the report the Committee says that this good lady was murdered; it was an outright murder. The ...

dragon on this matter. I know that he enjoys a close working relationship with Government. He should have used those networks to tell the family of our sister, other environmental activists and Kenyans the status of investigation into the alleged murder of our environmentalist. With those remarks, the Committee can still re-look at their report. At this point I am cagy to say that I support this report. The Chairperson should be given more time to give us hard hitting and practical recommendation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.
