• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, while other students also leave university maybe at the age 23 or 24 and get job placement, students with disabilities do not get jobs immediately. Employers shy employing them even in situation where they are qualified and they have certificates. We have many of them qualified, but they are not employed. Organisations fear to employ them because they must have an aide to assist them do their work. Employers want to be incentivized. The PWDs graduate do not get employment immediately they complete their education. Many of them get into charity organisations where they do research for ... view
• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, by the time PWDs, by God’s grace, end up getting jobs, probably at the age 35 or even 40, they have very little time to render service and plough back to the society. Therefore, the retirement age of 60 years disadvantages them in the public service. There is need for them to be given more time in order to give back to the society and be productive. PWDs are supposed to be service providers as well, and not just to be on the receiving end. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need to ensure that we raise the retirement age limit for PWDs in the public service. There is a policy that came out sometime back; I am not so certain about the year, it was, probably, in 2009, when the retirement age for public servants was raised. Public servants then used to retire at 55 years. Now they retire at 60 years. The same policy stated that PWDs in the public service should retire at 65 years, but that is not want is obtaining on the ground. Some organisations allow them to work at 65 ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a case of a deputy head teacher in a school in Sen. Khaniri’s county. He was given a letter by the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) dated February, telling him that he needs to retire next year, yet the policy says that public servants with disabilities are supposed to retire at 65. There is need to ensure that this policy is implemented for PWDs with discrimination. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in the university, lecturers retire at the age of 70 years. By the time PWDs are getting the highest degree in the land in order to teach in universities, some of them may be over 60 or 65 years. This is because of the very many challenges they have had to go through during the early years, as they are trying to catch up. By the time they self-actualise in the academia, they are 60 or 65 years. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this Motion intends to ensure that even the PWDs in academia need to retire at 75 instead of 70. Just allow me to give an example of a PWD who has gone up the ladder in the academia, Prof. Ndurumo. He is the father of sign language in this country and yet he has not been recognized. He does not have a voice. There is no one to speak for him, yet he is highly intelligent. There is so much he can give to this country, but he has not been given an opportunity to give back ... view
