PRESS RELEASE

The book DISABILITY: LAW AND RIGHTS by David Teti and Salem Lorot is now out.

It contains 19 chapters and it provides a comprehensive, plainly-written account of disability law in Kenya. It elucidates the rights of persons with disabilities as provided under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and its Optional Protocol, giving them an in-depth appraisal within the Kenyan context. In addition, it discusses and suggests pertinent issues on disability such as inclusive development for example in legislations and policies and provision of assistive devices, a look at people with albinism, discussions of disability and poverty and disability and Vision 2030.

The main themes include: the various models of disability, types of disabilities, sources of disability law in Kenya, legal rights of persons with disabilities such as inherent dignity, non-discrimination, accessibility and full and effective participation, a detailed analysis of rights specified in the Convention and women and children with disabilities.

Later chapters of the book deal with: translating obligations into action for example through habilitation and rehabilitation, accessibility and personal mobility, access to buildings, offices, public and personal service facilities, access of information, access to education and educational facilities, work and employment for persons with disabilities, adequate standards of living and social protection, the right to healthcare, access to justice, offences to persons with disabilities and monitoring the rights of persons with disabilities.

Are you interested in disabilities issues? Have you thought of reading a book on disability rights and law in Kenya? If you are, that book will soon be out and Sparrow Press will deliver it to you. If you are interested, kindly leave a comment below.

The life of a writer is a lonely one, one fraught with sheer hardwork and high purpose. For every page you read is sweat and toil, pain and frustration, dream and hope. On every page is a writer's life laid bare. Writers put down their thoughts, writing down the future of societies. They are immortal. And this is the attractive thing about writing: the fact that your work will outlive you and echo for so many generations in the future. This is our commitment. This is our pride. Next time you buy a book, read it, savour it.

May the year 2017 be a successful one to you; to live an extraordinary life, pushing yourself to the limit till it hurts; to confront your greatest fears; to find joy in books, reading and interacting with the greatest minds; to do something different than last year, to dare, to dream.

Here at Sparrow Press, we promise to release a number of books on law, to hear your feedback and implement them where practicable and to make law accessible to you. Get to buy our books and read them and we will be happy to hear from you.
