Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) will be embarking on another mass registration exercise in the two weeks. The council conducts continuous mass registration in counties to ensure all persons with disabilities are captured in the database.<\/p>\n

According to the Disability Services Mainstreaming Officer at NCPWD Isaac Manyonge, the database has so far been able to capture 60,000 people. The process involves teams from the council and the medical services going to the communities to conduct assessments to determine the various forms of disabilities and register those who qualify.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe target to go down at the communities. The assessment is done there and then so the community can be assessed and registered,\u201d he said. What they are required to bring is a passport-size photo, an identification card for an adult or a birth certificate for a child.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are insisting on birth certificates because we realised that most persons with disabilities are not even registered at birth. They don\u2019t have a birth certificate which has had a negative impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The lack of birth certificates has for instance made it difficult for them to get a Nemis number when they go to school. The council has been issuing new-generation disability identification cards since November last year.<\/p>\n

Data from the council shows at least 17,000 new-generation disability identification cards have been disbursed to counties since the process was officially launched by the Labour CS Florence Bore.<\/p>\n

This was part of the reforms that have been made in the registration process following the launch of the registration system during the UN Disability Day in 2021. The new cards, produced by De La Rue, are embedded with security features to curb fraud and QR code for verification purposes.<\/p>\n

Possession of a disability card, which is evidence of a duly registered person with disability, qualifies one to benefit from services, rights and privileges as stipulated by law such as tax exemption, education assistance and assistive devices.<\/p>\n
