A Kenyan man named Abel Korir has written to Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, asking him to offer him a job in his office.

The man explained that this is because he is disabled and uses a wheelchair, and because there is a need for the new DP to include more people with disabilities in his office.

A photo shared on the Facebook group Tharaka Nithi County Speaks shows the man seated in a four-wheel wheelchair, holding a blue placard with the message he wanted to convey to Kindiki.
