Cry of the disabled in Kisii over discrimination.

The disabled in Kisii South  have cried foul claiming the two levels of government had discriminated against them.

This comes amid  regular complaints from the physically challenged  from the larger Gusii region over their inability to access disbursal funds from the national  government.

Kisii South disabled persons chairman, Peter Ongwenyi said the members were suffering especially at this   time  when covid19 pandemic raged.

According to the chairman  they  had inadequate food,protective gear against the coronavirus and financial support.

Despite the fact that the disabled  docket was  under the   national government,Ongwenyi  accused the area devolved unit and National Affirmative Action Fund for ignoring them.

The disabled threatened  to register with parties whose manifestos  will cater for them in the next political dispensation.

Economic empowerment opportunities,however, existed in  the constitution where the disabled persons were considered  in credit facilities’ award, public service employment and cash transfer programme.
