Today, as we mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2025, the conversation in Kenya has shifted.

For the first time, we celebrate under the authority of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025. The days of viewing inclusion as a charitable favor are over. The 2025 PWD Act, assented to in May, replaced the outdated 2003 law & guarantees the rights of persons with disabilities to education, employment, healthcare, political participation, and access to buildings and public spaces.

But while the law is signed, the gap remains wide;

The National Council for Persons With Disability reports that only 4% of public institutions meet the 5% hiring mandate for PWD, leaving them at just 1.32% of the workforce. The first Disability Inclusion Status Report 2025 also highlighted that disability exclusion is costing Kenya an est. KES 1.05 trillion every year (6.95% of our GDP). On top of that, the report exposed a 44.7% wage gap and a stubbornly high poverty rate of 38% among PWD.

As Kenya celebrates today, The frameworks are finally set. The laws are here. Next year will be the definitive test of whether Kenya can turn these paper promises into lived realities for over a million citizens?
What changes would you advocate for, lets engage in the comments?

In Baringo, an estimated KSh 2.64 billion has been lost to corruption since 2014, according to EACC and media reports. The county’s graft networks span procurement fraud, embezzlement of public funds, revenue-collection scams, and abuse of office.
