President William Ruto signs the Persons with Disabilities Bill into law.[File, Standard]
Persons living with Disabilities have faulted the Executive for failing to operationalise the Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025, one year after President William Ruto passed it into law.
Speaking during the first faith-based Disability, the Bible and the Church Conference, the leaders said the delay had denied millions of Kenyans living with disabilities the protections, opportunities and dignity envisioned in the landmark legislation.
The Act, hailed as one of the most progressive disability laws in Kenya’s history, introduced sweeping reforms aimed at promoting inclusion, accessibility, employment protections, social integration and economic empowerment for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
