The allowance is supposed to be renamed " a disability personal allowance
instead of a readers allowance."
This is because the allowance covers all areas and activities that the PWD
employee participates in.All these includes : a guide when travelling, a
messenger when need be, a reader, a secretary, among others.The readers
allowance never caters for all these very important requirements.It only
touches on the [part of reading.The rest is footed by the individual PWD
employee, which makes the life of such persons very difficult to manage.If
all of the above requirements are considered, then there is a need to
consider increasing this allowance so that the PWD employee comes at least
closer to the rest the employees in the republic.
Thank you.

Stan,
You are right, the understanding was that the SRC circular was a
temporary measure as a more long lasting viable solution was sought -
unfortunately, it has not happened.
John,
Could you send an accessible version of the document?
I believe since you are the author, you even have a MS Word version
that can be easily accessed.
Kind regards,
Fred Haga.

struggling with the same issues in the education sector. after
consulting a few persons here and there, I came up with a petition to
the TSC, which I submitted on 22nd October 2017 for the first time
through email.
after seeing no response, I took it there personally, to the CEO on
9th feb this year, where it was well received by the commission
lawyer. up to this end, no response. I will attach a copy of it for
the interest of all members. The interests of teachers and other
civil servants are more or less the same. stay blessed.

Dear members
,I trust you are all well and keeping on with the good work.
I wish to bring to your attention a matter that i feel has not been
properly/adequately addressed regarding the concept of reasonable
acomodation for employees with disability.
In particular regard i have the following concern:
The SRC circular gave a direction of monthly allowance for aides of
PWD's, although I note the allowance was a stop gap measure that
was being looked at as the commission came up with a comprehensive
document, i deem that this process has encountered undue delay.
2. The SRC circular did not address the issue of per daily
subsistence allowance/per diem when the PWD employee is out in the
field. Therefore in essence this means the PWD employee has to
foot the expenses of his/her aide which i believe should not be the
case.
This amounts to punitive measure to the PWD employee.
In the absence of such directions, i feel that the NCPWD should
issue such guidelines that shall seek to address this situation.
I have also come across the attached PSC policy on disability and
guidelines as to its implementation. The policy seems to address
such instances [kindly see chapter 4] of the policy, however, it
is still a draft and has not yet been ratified and gazetted. I wish
to hear your concerns over this matter, and possible solutions or
ways to have this concern resolved.
With kind regards,
Stan Mutuma
