    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to reply. I thank fellow Senators who have contributed to this Bill. Before Sen. Sakaja walks out, I acknowledge him as a champion for persons with disabilities. I am aware that he can gesture your name using the sign language. You showed me. Thank you so much for being inclusive. I wish to thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. Since the time we met in Parliament, she has become a true friend. I also realized she was keen on issues of disability. She has encouraged me many times. We have done so much together including coming up with books on sign language that the Senate launched mashinani . I have distributed to some of our mashinani programs. Our friendship has made us develop a Bill together on the Kenyan Sign Language (KSL). I remember that many times we would sit in my office until late, past seven in the evening, trying to come up the Bill. She has been very active even on this one on the Special Needs Education Bill. I will forever remember the friendship she has given me in this House concerning issues of disability. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Cherargei for his input. I also thank Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, for her input and for seeing to it that the Bill was presented in its raw form to the Senate Committee. We interrogated it and called for public participation on it. We were able to get meaningful input. I thank her for the role she has played up to the time this Bill has reached this stage. Further, I thank Sen. M. Kajwang, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, Sen. (Dr.) Langat, Sen. Olekina and Sen. Faki for their input. If there is any Senator I might have failed to recognize, I still thank you for your input."
