    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Statement by Sen. Mbugua. It is indeed one of the requirements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that we mainstream all the vulnerable in the society. The case is not only isolated in one school in Oljororok. In Nyeri County where I come from, the special needs school has been faced with numerous challenges, including staffing, equipment and infrastructure development. It is important that as the Committee on Education that is chaired by the Senator for Murang’a looks into this, they should go a step further and request the information from the Ministry. Out of 30,000 teachers who were recruited, we need to know how many of them were meant for schools that handle vulnerable learners. It is also important to have the vulnerable not isolated but mainstreamed into the society because when they grow up, they will need to get around and live with other people who are abled differently. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Statement is important. Therefore, the Committee on Education should do justice by rising to the occasion and have the Ministry of Education answer the question; how come 60 years after Independence, we are still facing the challenge of mainstreaming pupils who are vulnerable? I support."
