    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Karaba, for giving me one or two minutes. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while appreciating the efforts of the Government in providing free primary and secondary education, I would like to emphasize the need for the Government, through the establishment of Education Levy Fund, to put more emphasis on the disabled children. I am sure that even where the Chair comes from, to have a disabled child is a taboo. Many parents, therefore, do not come out clearly and say: \"I have a disabled child in my house.\" Some of those children are gifted and they should be given equal opportunities like the other children of this Republic to enjoy education. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a case in point in Nyeri Town, where Consolata Primary School set aside one particular class for disabled children. Those children were sent home due to lack of support, lack of proper teachers and funds. But with the establishment of that Fund, the less fortunate members of the society and, particularly, our children who are living with disabilities, will enjoy free education like any other pupils in the Republic of Kenya. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
