The Government Spokesperson, Hon. (Dr.) Isaac Mwaura, today addressed the Research Dissemination Meeting on _Inclusion in the Evidence Ecosystem: Understanding How Research Evidence is Used in Disability-Inclusive Policymaking in Kenya,_ held at the DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton, Nairobi.
Convened by Kenyatta University and Sightsavers, the meeting disseminated research findings examining how evidence was produced, used and filtered during the development of Kenya's Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025 a landmark law that replaced the 2003 legislation and marked a defining moment for disability inclusion in the country.
In his remarks, the Government Spokesperson noted that the enactment of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025 was the result of over two decades of evidence, advocacy, representation and political will, with more than 300 proposals and 22 versions of the Bill developed across the reform journey.
Emphasising that evidence alone is not sufficient, he called for a stronger bridge between research and policy action, urging stakeholders to build an evidence ecosystem that listens, includes and ultimately changes lives, ensuring that research translates into tangible improvements for persons with disabilities across Kenya.

The Albinism Society of Kenya has renewed calls for greater inclusion, equality and respect for persons with albinism, urging both public and private institutions to take deliberate steps to address the challenges faced by the community.

Speaking during celebrations marking awareness and advocacy efforts for persons with albinism, the Society's Programmes Officer, Daniel Omeno, emphasized the need for stakeholders to strengthen access to education, healthcare, sun protection products, employment opportunities and equal participation in all aspects of society.

"Meaningful inclusion requires action from everyone government institutions, private sector players, communities and families," Omeno said. "When we create an enabling environment, persons with albinism are able to realize their full potential and contribute significantly to national development."

He challenged Kenyans to confront harmful stereotypes and misconceptions that continue to fuel discrimination against persons with albinism.

"We must replace prejudice with understanding, acceptance and respect. Persons with albinism deserve the same opportunities as every other citizen and should be treated with dignity and fairness," he added.

Albinism is a rare, non-contagious genetic condition characterized by a lack of melanin pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. In Kenya and several other African countries, persons with albinism often face social stigma, discrimination and, in some cases, threats to their safety due to harmful myths and superstitions surrounding the condition.

The condition also makes individuals highly vulnerable to skin cancer because of increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Health experts have repeatedly emphasized the importance of access to sunscreen, protective clothing and regular medical check-ups for persons with albinism.
