Kenyans should embrace person's with disabilities

It saddens me to see a number of disabled person who are holders of Degrees Masters and PHDs certificates still moving from pillar to post in search of employment. It angers me when I see persons with disability being locked up in rooms because people are ashamed of them and see them as outcasts. It makes me cry when I see persons with disability being victims of rape and there is no justice for them. It breaks my heart completely when I see the discrimination persons living with disability go through here in Kenya. Sometimes I ask myself where our humanity is. Aren’t they human beings? Don’t they breathe the same air we do breathe?
 

It’s a shame that even after the provision by constitution under article 54, persons with disability are still not treated with dignity and respect, they still don’t have reasonable access to all places, public transport and information, they cannot access educational institutions and facilities for persons with disabilities and finally they cannot access materials and devices to overcome constraints arising from the person’s disability.
