In Kenya, the criteria for registering as a person with a disability is determined by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD). The NCPWD considers a person with a disability to be someone who has a physical, sensory, mental, or intellectual impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
Having only one testicle may not necessarily meet the criteria for registering as a person with a disability unless it significantly impacts the individual's ability to perform major life activities. It would ultimately be up to the NCPWD to determine if the individual qualifies for disability status based on their specific circumstances.
