Nominated member of the Mombasa County Assembly Solomon Ngugi has called on the county government to allocate special stalls for persons living with disabilities.

Through a special motion presented at the assembly on Wednesday, Ngugi urged the county government to set aside at least 5% of all county stalls yet to be allocated in different areas and markets in the county to PWD's.

" The Constitution of Kenya is very clear on equality and freedom from discrimination, every one is equal" argued Ngugi.

Adding " Persons living with disabilities need to be given equal opportunity to conduct business just like any other citizen."

Ngugi also called on the county government to ensure that special toilets meant for PWDs are also constructed in the stalls.

His motion was supported by Leila Nyache who also called for consideration of PWDs in county government projects and activities.
