Migori female senator aspirant Dennitah Ghati in 2022 general elections have intensified vote hunt with a launch of a six day disability medical camp.
Ghati, nominated by ODM to represent People Living With Disability in national assembly, said the medical camp that will target Kuria East and Kuria West constituencies will also see registration drive.
“The aim is to ensure all persons with disabilities in KURIA are assessed and registered by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities in readiness for issuance of Disability cards, mobility assistive devices, educational support and to be eligible for government support services including monthly stipend,” she said.
She said the registration will ensure PwDs have their independence and dignity.
In the forthcoming general election, Ghati has her eyes set for the seat of female senator as proposed by the BBI constitution change.
Ghati is the first Migori Woman Representative, and will still go for a county seat in the next polls.
She was accompanied by Leonard Wafula, the officer in-charge of registration at the .National Council for Person with Disability and Migori county officer Fred Obuya.
The two said Kuria region has low number of PwDs registration and they will use the functions to register more people.
“Sadly majority of Kenyans are not registered especially in rural area and most are at risk of failing to get social benefits,” Wafula said.
Here are the dates and the venue for the six day medical camps:
