    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have free primary education and it must be seen to be all inclusive to all members of our society whether they are disabled or not. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the absence of Government-supported institutions for learning, we have left the disabled members of our society to be helped by NGOs and other well-wishers. We must do what makes these members of our society proud to be Kenyans. All we need to do is to make sure that we contribute to their welfare. We all know that for them to learn in primary and secondary schools, there are a lot of costs involved because there are special items that they require for them to learn. They do not just require pens and books like those who are not disabled. They require other facilities. Those must be funded by ourselves. Therefore, it goes without saying that the request that we are making of establishing one fully Government supported primary school and secondary school is, in fact, a fair one. Actually, we need much more than that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to repeat that for now, we have left these members of our society in the hands of NGOs to take care of them. They did not choose to be disabled. They have been put there by circumstances and we need to make sure that we support them so that they can be proud to be Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
