    "content": " I was trying to use Sign Language but discovered that on this, I am the one with a disability. Other than that, I want to welcome the Kenya Association for the Deaf to Parliament which is led by Mr Nixon Kakiri whom together, we served in the Central Committee of ODM. Given that this is the International Week of the Deaf, I congratulate Hon. Umulkher for the Bill that she is sponsoring. I hope Members would understand that by the provisions of the Constitution, if you are expected to be literate and be able to read and write for us to qualify to be elected to represent people in Parliament, it should also be a requirement in that Bill that one ought to know how to use Sign Language and read Braille. I thank Hon. Umulkher. Earlier on, when Hon. Irene Mayaka was speaking, you had re-directed her. One of the reasons she was very saddened about Hon. Jolly Mugisha who is being buried today in Uganda, is because we were all in a very special training programme. Hon. Irene was very passionate about Hon. Jolly Mugisha’s burial today and additionally, on issues of human rights and especially, the marginalised communities. Thank you, Hon. Umulkher. You are doing an excellent job.
