President Ruto approved the new disability law on May 8, which gives workers with disabilities tax breaks. Senator Crystal Asige and Majority Leader Kimani Ichungwah helped write the bill. The Senate passed it on February 1, and the National Assembly approved it on March 16. The law creates a system to protect the rights of people with disabilities through various benefits.
Under these rules, workers with disabilities can claim tax relief. People who bring in special equipment for disabled use pay no import tax. Companies that spend money making their buildings accessible for disabled staff qualify for tax cuts. Donations to help people with disabilities also earn tax breaks. The law replaces outdated rules from 2003 with ones that match current standards.
The focus shifts to a human rights approach for people with disabilities across Kenya. Senator Asige celebrated when Parliament passed her bill, saying she looked forward to the presidential signing. She posted a video on April 3 telling followers to meet at the State House for the official ceremony. The president signed the bill into law with disabled community leaders present at the event.
