Francis Kariuki: O.K good morning everyone, my names are Francis Kariuki and I am here to give views as pertains the<br />
disable person;<br />
My point number one is the disabled person should not be discriminated negatively because <strong>of</strong> their disability that is because <strong>of</strong><br />
their mobility, that they cannot move, because they cannot see, because they cannot hear or any other disability.<br />
We have the point number two, disabled person should not be discriminated against job opportunities; we have seen quite <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
that disabled are denied a chance to work even when they have the necessary qualification. Therefore, we want a <strong>constitution</strong>,<br />
which will support programmes to assist disabled person to be able to prove their abilities.<br />
I have point number three, We also have disabled persons beind discriminated in leadership opportunities and therefore we<br />
should have a <strong>constitution</strong> guaranting leadership opportunities, for example, we have the political leadership, like being an M.P<br />
or a councilor, we have religious leaderships, one can become a pastor or a church minister.<br />
We have the point number four; the new <strong>constitution</strong> should be made in such a way that it should ease the difficulties the<br />
disabled person encounter in their daily life. For instance, facilities or items used by disabled people should be made easily<br />
available and affordable; if they are not manufactured locally, then we should have them imported duty free.<br />
I have point number five which is the; educational facilities for the disabled person where not available should be availed with<br />
ease for example, we should have more schools catering for disabled being built.<br />
Number six, we should have a <strong>constitution</strong> whereby planners should be made to consider the needs <strong>of</strong> the disabled e.g. physical<br />
facilities, we should have, maybe houses built, catering for bathrooms, toilets and some stairs should not be made very steep.<br />
I have number seven, we have the movement facilities e.g. the public transport and others should be made reachable and<br />
accessible to all disabled persons.<br />
We have number eight, which is communications facilities, for this I refer to things like telephone booths, they should be made in<br />
such a way that a disabled person can be able to use them.<br />
I have number nine, the <strong>constitution</strong> should address the following concerns <strong>of</strong> people with disabilities; we have the learning<br />
facilities, job opportunities, by this, they can create chances whereby disabled person can be allowed to operate simple<br />
business or they can give them capital to start the businesses.<br />
We have the physical facilities, descrimiation tendencies, the communication facilties be made accessible to all disable persons.
