    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. I want to thank Sen. Musuruve for that Statement. Unlike those who spoke before me, I encourage her to go beyond this. She has been very passionate about disability issues. I stand here to speak because I have an experience in these matters of cerebral palsy. My own mother lost two children in the 1960s, a sister and a brother, who suffered from what I now know was cerebral palsy. However, we did not know. This is because the level of awareness was very low. In my earlier years together with Vice President Moody Awori, we did a lot of work with Sen. Amos Wako in trying to help. The fundraising Sen. Wako talked about, Moody Awori and I participated in trying to help children with condition. Madam Deputy Speaker, it is important that we bring this to the national conversation. Whereas we deal with children with physical disabilities and seeing disabilities, we have not done as much to ensure children suffering from cerebral palsy are also attended to by the state as people who need special attention, care and help. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
