Deputy President William Ruto has said the Jubilee administration has been keen on serving all Kenyans without discrimination.
Ruto said the party, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, will not waver in its plan to uplift the lives of persons with disabilities.
“We are told that society and leadership is not judged by how they treat the mighty and able but by how they treat the weak and the vulnerable,” said the DP.
The DP said those in leadership positions must ensure persons with disabilities are catered for by implementing the policies formulated to address the welfare of that special group.
Ruto was speaking at State House, Nairobi, during a meeting with persons living with disabilities, Friday.
President Kenyatta encouraged persons with disabilities to be vocal and express their interests freely, saying Jubilee has been at the forefront in supporting their welfare and fully backed those who sought elective posts.
“You should now become vocal in expressing your needs and demanding your rights. We want to hear your voice coming out strongly, making sure you are not left behind,” said President Kenyatta.
