• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: PwDs are productive, they can increase the GDP and can also improve this country’s economy but what they lack is the opportunity. You will find that PwDs have papers, but they do not have anyone to hold their hands. I want to cite an example of a case we had in Migori with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission when we went there. We were interrogating about PwDs in terms of being involved in their budgetary process. It is painful to say on the Floor of this House that when it comes to budgetary allocation, what Migori County says is ... view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: I saw a lot of ridicule, even when we went to Migori to investigate about the plight of PwDs. PwDs should not be discriminated in terms of employment. When it comes to promotion, they should be promoted just like anybody else, because they rarely get promotion. In organisations that concern PwDs and Governments departments, you will find that people at the helm are not PwDs, they are other people. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: When it comes to political parties, this Bill will ensure that political parties are keen about representation of PwDs. As we are approaching elections right now, in fact, they are just at the comer, I want to call upon parties to ensure that PwDs are represented in governance. When it comes to representation of PwDs they are excluded. For example, in the last election, PwDs were not there in 17 county assemblies. This Bill will ensure that PwDs get high ranking jobs, they become ambassadors, Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries; that they are at all levels of Government. Counties should ... view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: As we look at PwDs, most of them are not at scholarly, but when it comes to retirement, this Bill will see to it that scholars who are in academia retire 5 years above the normal time. There is a policy that speaks on it and states clearly that other people in view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: other jobs will retire at 60 years, but PwDs will retire at 65 years. In academia and other levels, they need to retire at 75 years because for PwDs to reach that level, they are very few in the country and we have tap on the knowledge and potential that they have. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: I want to cite an example of Prof. Ndurumo who is the father of sign language in this country. He has a lot of information and is a senior lecturer at University of Nairobi. When he retires early with all that knowledge, it will not help us as a country. There is need to ensure that PwDs get value for being |Kenyans. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: When it comes to reservation of employment, it should be practical. Employers should report to Parliament on how many people they have employed, what cadre are PwDs in and how many have been promoted. Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura can attest to this, that we carry the pains of PwDs. Some of them, have papers but they are just there. They just get into advocacy on issues of disability and yet if they are given an opportunity at managerial level and as researchers, they will execute just like anybody else. They must not always be doing advocacy on PwDs. In fact, advocacy ... view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me. I would like to talk about accessibility of persons with disabilities in this country. This Bill will ensure when people are coming up with constructions, constructors will be obligated to have accessibilities for people with disabilities. I will not shy away from saying that in some places you find that there are stairs all through. There is no elevator for person with disability. When I go to Mombasa, the Kenya Airport Authority needs to come here and talk the mess and the disservice they are doing to PwDs with disabilities. When ... view
