The Bill seeks to give effect to Article 54 of the Constitution; to restructure the National Council for Persons with Disabilities and to provide for its
functions and powers; to provide for the institutional framework for protecting, promoting and monitoring the rights of persons with disabilities; to provide for incentives and reliefs.

The object of the Bill is to repeal the Persons with Disabilities Act,
No. 14 of 2003 and have in place a law that is consistent with the Constitution.

The Bill places emphasis on human rights approach towards realisation of persons with disabilities in Kenya and societal responsibility to protect and promote them.
