We will need a serious army of champions to help get the Persons With Disabilities Act 2025 to every corner of Kenya. Is there a way you think you can help to popularise it in your community? Because I will not go far alone. #VIP
As a person living with disability with a permanent disability this is a win. Now to the implementation. Thank you for championing for us @CrystalAsige
The brand new Persons With Disabilities Act 2025 is here — and it’s a game changer. Here’s a breakdown of some of what it includes:
Caregivers of persons with disabilities will be eligible for tax exemptions to ease their financial burden.
The retirement age for employees with disabilities is extended to 65 years.
Health institutions are now mandated to establish accessible disability desks, employ trained medical professionals for disability-specific care, and provide sign language-trained staff for deaf patients.
The National Council for Persons With Disabilities (NCPWD) will register accessibility auditors to ensure accessibility in buildings, streets, public services, transportation, and information.
Persons with permanent disabilities will receive a lifetime income tax exemption certificate with no renewal requirement.
Parents or guardians of registered persons with disabilities will receive exemptions from taxable income.
Organisations supporting persons with disabilities through donations or subsidized insurance will receive tax incentives, encouraging insurer participation in disability welfare.
Public and private institutions must ensure that all ICT products and services meet the Kenya Accessibility Standard.
Employers of registered persons with disabilities are exempt from taxable income on wages paid to such employees.
Discrimination against persons with disabilities now carries penalties — fines up to one million shillings or imprisonment up to two years.
Causing or encouraging persons with disabilities to beg is now criminalized, with penalties up to five million shillings or five years in prison.
Fraudulent attempts to access disability benefits will be punished with fines, imprisonment, or both.
Public transport owners who subsidize fares for persons with disabilities will receive tax deductions, and certified individuals with disabilities are allowed to operate public service vehicles.
Inclusion in Kenya is no longer an option #VIP
To our brothers and sisters in uniform, the kids in the streets are not the enemy. The enemy is shipping you off to Haiti for a paltry 20k while he pockets the rest of the money he got from his benefactors in the US. We must build a better country for all of us.

Nyahururu people are asking for Ruto to stop hiding inside the church and come out to address them if he's man enough. They will not believe. They will not believe.
