    "content": "children is encouraging. She has written, published and distributed books on sign language using her own resources and her innate desire to contribute on matters of education is overwhelmingly pleasant. Madam Deputy Speaker, as one of us, I am certain that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve is capable of pushing the interests of the African child and her agenda as a country in support of education of the vulnerable children who are at great risk of missing out on education. It is worth noting that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve was once the Vice Chairperson of the National Council of Nomadic Education in Kenya. Apart from being a people with disability (PWD) representative in the Senate she has taught in a special school during her lifetime as a teacher while she interacted with PWDs and feels their pinch and need. Another keynote issue that cannot be ignored is that, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has academic qualifications in special needs education, a Masters degree in applied linguistics with a pass in sign language and a PhD in mass communication with a pass in media portrayed on PWDs. With all this experience, I believe she is equal to the task. More importantly, she is also a very active Member of the Education Committee and she plays an important role in contributing to issues that have been affecting education in this country. I call upon all my colleagues to give her the support she may need in realizing her new assignment. It is not about her, but Kenya at the international level pushing inclusion of vulnerable children worldwide and closing the disparity in education. The problems in education have affected children. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many children are at home, especially those from marginalized communities. In this case, not only being a PWD, but she is also a woman. As ladies, we feel greatly honoured. I congratulate her for this great appointment. Sooner than later, we will start IPNE Kenya to ensure SDG-4 issues on education are addressed."
