    "content": "saddened because, in my opinion, I did not see anything. Anyway, let me ask it as a question. What did the Ministry of Health do to create awareness of Dyslexia because this is a condition that has been misdiagnosed many times? Sen. Mbugua and I attended that particular celebration at the Kenya Institute of Special Education and, again, CS, it is important to note that you and your Ministry were not represented. At least, Parliament was represented because the Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association (KEDIPA) was there, but the Ministry was not represented. I did not see them do anything in terms of awareness. Finally, I would like to know whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that 100 children who have this condition of Dyslexia do not have a school to attend in January. This is because the Kenya Community Centre for Learning that has been taking care of them - Sen. Murgor is quite aware of this particular challenge - has been driven out of the place that they have been using as a school for the last five years. At least, the other time they were helped by the Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association (KEDIPA), but we have not seen the Ministry do anything in terms of supporting children living with dyslexia. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the very talented children that was presenting in that dinner that the Ministry was not represented in, got an award for the best swimmer in Kenya. She is from Nyeri County. When she first went with her mother to hospital, she was misdiagnosed with a mental challenge. Can a person with a mental challenge be the best swimmer in the Republic? The misdiagnosis of Dyslexia is a big problem. I expected the Ministry to join the whole world last week in creating awareness."
