Women with disabilities are driving the green transition, but their voices are often left out of the conversation. Read about the project launch in Korogocho,Nairobi through @DINA_Kenya1,which aims to increase visibility and leadership in climate action: https://t.co/QoJBQXBmuQ

@KEWOPA We know that the electors act require that one who've vied and is not successful should not be nominated in the gender top up seats but we have seen this happen, what should be done?

We express strong disapproval of the indignifying and degrading incident that took place in Bugoma county during Jukwaa la Usalama function , where MP John Waluke not only humiliated and demeaned a young person with a disability but also made prejudiced remarks suggesting that persons with disabilities do not have any capacity to serve in the police force in any role , reinforcing harmful stereotypes that exclude and deny persons with disabilities opportunities and dignity .

This conduct stands in direct violation of Consistution of Kenya , which guarantees human dignity (Art 28) , equality (Art 27) , and the rights ( Art 54) . It also contravenes persons with disability Act 2025 and the CRPD .

As a member of parliament John Waluke is entrusted with upholding these values and tenets , not undermine them through redicule , degrading displays and exclusionary rhetoric

Kenyans with disabilities are equal citizens, rights-holders, and active contributors to national development. They serve in diverse capacities across our society, including within national security frameworks, where their participation strengthens institutions and fosters inclusivity. They deserve respect, opportunity, and recognition not ridicule or exclusion.

UDPK has formally written to the Speaker of the National Assembly demanding accountability. Specifically calling for,👇

- A Public statement of solidarity from Parliament affirming the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities.
- The institutionalization of disability Inclusion and Equality training for all Members of Parliament
-A Formal apology from Hon. Waluke to Kenyans including to the disability community

This incident must serve as a turning point. Parliament has the responsibility to demonstrate leadership by rejecting discrimination in all forms and standing firmly for dignity, equality, and inclusion
