Disability is not Inability

:: First Lady Wa vitendo in support of Disability in Kenya:


The most visiable landmark of the Kibaki administration was the role of the exuburant First Lady Mama Lucy Kibaki. The role of the first lady has for a long been diminuted by cultures and attitudes to women especially in Africa. This remained the case for many years added by the fact that many of us grew up with a fatherly president who was more of a single father. For almost a quater of a century Kenyans did not experience the warmth of a motherly first lady.

Until 2003 when we Kenyan saw the first pro-active first lady in national politics with a executive programme independent of that of the President. The value of the family as the basic unit of life was redifined more than ever.

But one of the major programmes that First lady in the Kibaki Administration championed most was the need to build a disability-friendly Kenya.
