A legislator has mooted a proposal for political parties to let people living with disability pick the people to represent them in the county and national assemblies. Homa Bay Woman Representative Gladys Wanga said the disabled have special interests, which only they understand best. She said most major political parties face a challenge in nominating people with special interests. Wanga said she will approach the ODM leadership and have the party change its rules on nomination of the disabled. Wanga, who is the ODM Homa Bay county chairperson, said the disabled have complained that political parties nominate their friends who do not represent the PWDs’ interests.
