    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to support the Motion and contribute towards the same. I have a few issues to put across. I thank the Committee for the effort and for this detailed report about their visit to different counties. I wish to put a correction about the physically challenged persons in the society. It does not sound good because it is eliminating other types of disabilities, more than five of them, other unknown or invisible disabilities. The best words to use are that the learning institutions should be disability-friendly. The facilities should be disability- friendly to accommodate all types of disabilities or learners with different abilities. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the issue of polytechnics in our counties, we face a lot of challenges whereby admitting and retaining the users who are young people within the community is a challenge. We need to come up with a resolution or solution on this issue. How will we retain the users of these polytechnics? What are the problems that make the users not to use these polytechnics? We have a large number of village polytechnics. However, young people are not using them. We, as a House, need to evaluate where the problem is. Each county has its own challenges or problems that can be addressed to retain the users in these learning institutions. I want to cite one polytechnic that could be used as the best practice among other polytechnics. This is Sigalagala Polytechnic. This is where learners with disability have managed to pursue their courses without difficulty. The polytechnic is accessible to persons with all types of disabilities.
