Government Spokesman Hon. Isaac Mwaura today hosted Ms. Gibendi Moselyne, Director of Artspace Productions Ltd, and Mr. Alex Mung’ere, Assistant Director in charge of the Albinism Program at the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), during the 31st edition of ‘Sema Na Spox: Bonga Na Gava.’<\/em><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The forum focused on critical lessons Kenya can draw from recent school unrest and fire incidents, while also examining progress in disability inclusion across East Africa and the government’s commitment to supporting persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n
Participants emphasized that school unrest and tragic fire incidents witnessed in various learning institutions should serve as a wake-up call for all education stakeholders.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Key lessons discussed included strengthening student counseling services, enhancing communication between learners and school management, improving school safety infrastructure, and ensuring strict compliance with disaster preparedness protocols.<\/p>\n
The discussion highlighted successful approaches adopted by several East African countries in promoting disability inclusion, particularly in education, employment, accessibility, and public participation. Stakeholders noted that Kenya remains a regional leader in disability rights but must continue investing in awareness, assistive technologies, and inclusive policies to ensure no citizen is left behind.<\/p>\n
Mr. Alex Mung’ere underscored the need for increased protection and support for persons living with albinism, including access to healthcare, education opportunities, and public awareness campaigns to combat discrimination and stigma.<\/p>\n
Hon. Isaac Mwaura welcomed the government’s decision to increase budgetary allocation to the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, describing it as a significant step towards enhancing service delivery<\/strong> and empowering persons with disabilities across the country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“The increased funding demonstrates the government’s commitment to ensuring persons with disabilities enjoy equal opportunities and access to essential services. This investment will strengthen programs that promote inclusion, dignity, and economic empowerment,” said Hon. Mwaura.<\/p>\n
The forum comes as the disability movement prepares to commemorate its 81st anniversary celebrations this weekend, marking decades of advocacy, resilience, and progress in advancing the rights and welfare of<\/strong> persons with disabilities in Kenya.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hon. Mwaura reaffirmed the government’s commitment to building a more inclusive society where every Kenyan, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to realize their full potential and contribute to national development.<\/p>\n
