Albinism Society of Kenya has slammed Jubilee Party Vice Chairman David Murathe over his recent remarks targeted at the Persons with Albinism (PWAs).
Yesterday, the society, in a statement said Murathe’s utterances on KTNNews ‘Crossfire’ programme suggesting that having a skin pigment should be viewed as any other complexion and not as a disability is uncalled for and in bad taste.
“The pigment of somebody’s skin is not a disability. There is nothing that I can do that Mwaura cannot do, there is nothing that Gachagua can do that Mwaura cannot do, there is nothing that Mwaura can do that we cannot do. In fact, we are going to revisit the definition of persons living with disabilities,” Murathe was quoted as saying.
