This doctrinal study assesses the sufficiency of Kenya’s national legal frameworks on the right to access ICTs for persons with disabilities. The study applies the intersectionality theory and the concepts of the social model of disability, equality and non-discrimination, and universal design to examine the extent to which Kenya complies with the international standards on the right to access ICTs for persons with disabilities established in the African Disability Rights Protocol and the CRPD. The study concludes that the Constitution of Kenya and the Persons with Disabilities Act have progressive provisions that provide for the right to access ICTs for persons with disabilities. There are also existing ICT accessibility standards both public and private entities. The full implementation of the Constitution, the Persons with Disabilities Act and the Access to Information Act as well as the effective enforcement of the ICT accessibility gaps will guarantee the full enjoyment of the right to access ICTs for persons with disabilities in Kenya.
