This is the direction we should take as Kenyans because the problem of disability, as it is, is left to the affected families; the parents who have a person or a child with a disability. I want to thank the speakers who have contributed to this Motion because they have given me moral support. They, indeed, understand what disability is and the challenges faced by children ... view
• 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for the communication. This message should go clearly to our Governors. They should not just look at the issue of finances as one way of violating the Constitution or going against the will of Kenyans.

We want it to be clear that the issue of representation of people with disability within county governments is wanting, right from the county assemblies up to the employment processes. These are the things that ... view
