Kenya puts disability first, inclusion drives new agenda

Kenya government spokesman Isaac Mwaura dropped updates about disability rights during international awareness day celebrations, and he said the 2025 Persons with Disabilities Act syncs up with UN conventions while the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda pushes equal access to jobs and social programs. Cash transfers under Inua Jamii support over 50,000 households, and the Disability Empowerment Department trains county champions plus rolls out community frameworks for better local services.

President William Ruto approved 20 million shillings last year for upgrades at Thika High School for the Blind, and schools for disabled students keep getting fresh infrastructure plus learning materials. The government keeps expanding teacher training for specialized education while boosting braille resources and tech-based learning tools across institutions.

Mwaura mentioned healthcare access improved through community rehabilitation programs and mobility aid distribution, and political parties, plus civil society groups, keep working to boost civic participation among disabled citizens.
