Madam Temporary Speaker, as Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko stated, any able-bodied person is a candidate for disability. For example, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve was able-bodied yet she is a PWD today.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is just that the two-thirds gender rule is in the Constitution and people whose mandate is to look after the laws of this country are recommending that a Bill that is seeking to enhance this be rejected without stakeholders’ input.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should withdraw that Report and treat it with the contempt it deserves.
