    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me one or two minutes to add my voice to the Statement that was raised by Sen. Cystal Asige. I thank her for doing this. It is true that the data does not seem to be correct. It is not just about the data of PWDs, but even the children with disabilities. There has to be away in which we can know our children from when they are young. As the Committee looks into these issues, let them also look at our schools. This is because some schools register children in one term and in the next term, they do not have children to register. This question is very important because it will open our minds on the solutions we should be dealing with or how we will approach this. We also know that the issue of disability has been associated with witchcraft and so many other things such that people are embarrassed. For example, some children are being locked in rooms. So, looking for data is going to be a very challenging thing. However, we want to look for ways in which we can know who our PWDs are. Finally, we need to ask ourselves whether this is the responsibility of a mother who gave birth to a disabled child or for the nation that collects tax. We need to see how we can move that burden away from the parents. You realize that you have four children and one of them is disabled. You will spend 50 per cent of your time with the disabled child and 50 per cent for the other three children because that child has many challenges."
