- Hundreds of persons with disabilities (PWDs) gathered at Isiolo County Referral Hospital for assessment and registration on April 21, 2026.
- The assessment is part of a nationwide initiative by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, with participants from neighboring counties.
- Qualifying individuals gain access to support services including tax exemptions, cash transfers, and education bursaries.
- Over 8,000 individuals with disabilities are estimated to reside in Isiolo County, according to a PWD spokesperson.
- The event involved key persons such as Dr. Michael Munene (CEO of the council) and organizations like the Ministry of Health Department of Physiotherapy.
The short-term impact of the disability assessment event is expected to be minimal, primarily involving administrative adjustments. However, there is a risk of resource strain if participant turnout exceeds estimates.
