    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you. I beg to reply. I begin by thanking my fellow Senators for supporting this Bill. I thank Sen. Kwamboka for seconding the Bill. Her input is quite invaluable. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko for adding to this Bill and reminding us that the state is obligated to ensure that this Bill sees the light at the end of the tunnel. This is so that sign language becomes a mandatory language like any other, and it is also included in studies. I thank Sen. Cherargei for coming out strongly and especially reminding the county governments to take this document as their business, so that sign language is devolved in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TIVET) institutions and all schools and institutions of learning. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also thank Sen. Kavindu Muthama for coming in also to support this Bill. I thank all the Senators in this House for coming out strongly to support issues of disability anytime they come to the Floor of this House. I believe that when this Bill goes to the National Assembly, it will get the true support that it has received from colleagues in the Senate, so that we have a truly inclusive society from the word go. This is so that the deaf people do not live in a cocoon, but are part of the society that we live in. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to request that you defer the putting of the question to a later date pursuant to Standing Order No. 61 (3). Thank you and I beg to reply."
