Madam Deputy Speaker, in as much as they have brought a Petition to Parliament, there are procedures to be followed before it is enacted into a law. For example, it has to go through all the stages in the National Assembly and the Senate before it is assented to by the President. I do not think of a shorter way of doing this.

Madam Deputy Speaker, allow me as the Senator representing Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to inform Sen. Shiyonga to use the right term when talking about PWDs. The PWDs are not disabled. Parliamentarians should refrain from referring to PWD as disabled.
