The goal for this partnership is to ensure that as the country's economy grows, persons with disabilities (PWDs) are not left behind and have the same opportunities to succeed as everyone else.

This MoU foster's a more inclusive business culture. According to Dr. Erick Rutto, President of the Chamber of Commerce, the partnership is a "clear statement of support for inclusivity in the workplace, aiming to create lasting economic value for businesses and the nation." The Ag, CEO of the Council, Eva Njoroge, highlighted the timeliness of this MoU, especially with the upcoming implementation of the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2025. She stated that the collaboration will not only help businesses comply with the new laws but will also create real opportunities for persons with disabilities to thrive as entrepreneurs and employees.

Today, the Council, in collaboration with partners, held a side event and launched a Baseline Assessment Report on Disability Inclusion in County Governments in Kenya 2025 at the Devolution Conference in Homa Bay County.

The report, prepared by the Council with the support of partners and the Council of Governors, highlights key findings on how county governments are implementing policies and programs for persons with disabilities. While the report's findings indicate that there's still a long way to go to achieve full inclusion, they also identify promising practices. It provides evidence-based recommendations to guide future planning and action.

A key finding of the report is that disability inclusion remains behind in many county governments. For example, only 16 county governments have enacted specific disability legislation, and only 12 have a stand-alone disability policy. In addition, only about 3.1% of county government staff are persons with disabilities, which is far below the 5% legal requirement.

However, there's also positive news: 39 county governments have employed persons with disabilities, and 35 have economic empowerment programs for persons with disabilities. The report also highlights that most county governments are implementing affirmative action policies such as the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) program and the extension of the retirement age to 65 years for persons with disabilities.

We extend our appreciation to H.E. Governor Simon Kachapin for giving a keynote address our esteemed partners: CBM Kenya, Light for the World, United Disabled Persons of Kenya (UDPK), Social Protection Department, and the Council of Governors (CoG), for their invaluable collaboration and support to held this important discussion.

Together, we can move from policy to action and ensure that the promise of inclusion is delivered for all.

Today marks an important step forward in Kenya's journey towards full inclusion, as the Council and the Social Protection Department, in collaboration with various partners, officially launch the National Policy for Persons with Disabilities. This policy is a clear testament to the Kenyan government's commitment in upholding the rights of persons with disabilities.

It is a roadmap realized through consultations, informed by both national aspirations and international frameworks, including the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), the 2018 and 2022 Global Disability Summit Commitments, the Constitution of Kenya (2010), and the East Africa Disability Protocol.

This new policy is also aligned with the Persons with Disabilities Act No. 4 of 2025, which was assented to as law on May 8, 2025.

Implementation of this policy is a shared responsibility, demanding the collective effort of all stakeholders. The Council is ready to lead, coordinate, and collaborate in this agenda, reinforcing disability mainstreaming efforts across all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, as now mandated by the Disability Act 2025.

We call upon government entities, Organizations of and for Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), the private sector, civil society, communities, and every person join hands.

Let us work together to eliminate barriers, foster accessible environments, and embrace the immense potential within our persons with disabilities, ensuring they fully enjoy their rights and pursue inclusion on an equal basis with the rest of society. This policy is a living document, and its success reinforce on our collective commitment to its vision.
