"content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to thank all my colleagues for hailing me for this position. I am truly humbled to have been picked to serve humanity. It is not by mistake that I am disabled. It was designed by God, and I appreciate the way God allowed it. It is my prayer that God will use me as he intends to. I thank you so much for being supportive to this initiative. I want to let my collogues know that Sen. (Prof.) Kamar was earmarked for this particular position from the embassy. They looked at her and me, and because of disability, I was brought on board. I opened up to Sen. (Prof.) Kamar who is supporting me in this initiative. We will have the global event on the 14th of this month, and the Senate will be represented. The Speaker is one of the interventionists. I thank all the parliamentarians. Sen. Mwaura, Sen. Shiyonga and our Chair, Sen. (Dr.) Milgo have signed the declaration. We have a lot of support from Kenya. So far, about ten Members of the National Assembly and the Senate of Kenya have signed the declaration to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to support the children who are far behind, and to ensure that we fight for equal resources and quality education to ensure that children with disabilities are not left behind, come 2030. Colleagues, I am truly humbled. I look forward to seeing you when we globally launch the International Parliamentary Network on Education (IPNE) on the 14th. Thank you very much for the support you have for children with disabilities in this country and the world."
