ODM party leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday said that ODM as a party has not neglected persons living with disabilities across Kenya.
The former prime minister addressing over 500 persons with disabilities drawn from across the country at Orange House, Nairobi on Tuesday said that ODM values everyone without discrimination.
"It is in ODM persons with disabilities have been accommodated to express their rights and join Kenyan politics. Despite the frustrations some individuals who were allowed to join ODM party and after they saw the light they ditched the party, ODM will will continue to prioritize Persons with Disabilities in the governance agenda", said Mr. Odinga.
He added that in 2017, persons with disabilities who will seek elective posts have space in ODM to go for the seats on the party's ticket.
"You are free to come in ODM and compete with other leaders through nomination process to get party tickets to vie for seats in 2017 polls", he said.
The opposition leaders urged persons with disabilities to join hands together across the country to support ODM/Cord to send Jubilee government home in 2017 general elections citing that Jubilee has neglected them.
