“While Covid-19 responses are not inclusive to persons with disabilities, restrictions of movements and lockdowns in various parts of the country have deprived persons with disabilities of their support systems and interfered with their access to essential services, including medical services,” said Anderson Gitonga, the UDPK’s Executive Director in a statement shared with
