    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to also add my voice to that of my colleagues. I support this Bill because of the important role that it plays in the lives of those that are living with disability. In the past and even currently, some cultures treat a child born with disability as a bad omen, bad luck and taboo. Such a child is left to live in a situation that is really terrible in some homes. Therefore, this Bill will help in educating these children. It will help them to be treated equally, if not better because of the fact that they need extra help. It will help in training of those that help these children or PWDs. It also creates a future for them because when they get educated, then they will depend on themselves. They will go through school like any other child. Therefore, they will create a future for themselves, unlike what it was in the past, where there was no future for such a child. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this will also make the county governments responsible for PWDs. They will also have a census or records of how many people in that county are living with disabilities. The kind of disabilities will also be known in the records of the county; whether physical or any other kind of disability. Therefore, it makes the county governments responsible in helping to recognize these people and finding ways of helping them. It will also create ways for them to access facilities such as classrooms and toilets, as somebody mentioned. This will enable them to relieve themselves when need arises. I support."
