| Updated Thu, July 6th 2017 at 00:00 GMT +3Members of the Association of People with Disability yesterday protested against the removal of the deaf from party nomination lists. “We presented our names to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for nomination, but they were removed from the list, said Mr Nteere. Njogu added that out of the 95 per cent of the people with disabilities, the deaf were not represented anywhere in the Government. The union claimed their names were removed from nomination list because of communication barriers and added that they did not choose to be born deaf. They called on the President and the Opposition leader to take charge of the matter and allow for fair nomination for the deaf people.
