Persons with disabilities have demanded a Cabinet appointment ahead of the 2027 General Election, noting that no person with a disability has ever served in the Cabinet since independence.
The call came during a Persons with Disabilities Breakfast Forum in Nairobi, where leaders unveiled a 10-point agenda to push for wider inclusion in government, elections, and the economy.
Joseph Atella, Executive Director of the Consortium of Disabled Persons Organisations in Kenya (CDPOK), said persons with disabilities remain excluded from key decision-making spaces despite constitutional guarantees.
