    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute towards this very important Motion. First of all, I want to congratulate my friend, Sen. Mwalimu Karaba, for coming up with this Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a few reasons why I support this Motion. Indeed, adult education is very important in our society today simply because I am a leader in the disability movement. Last month, I launched a report on access to education amongst women with disabilities, and I was ashamed. If I may quote, “the percentage of women with disabilities who manage to get to universities was 0.1 percent.” I came to understand that the reason for this is that a long, long time ago, not everybody was given an opportunity – especially women in the society – to go to school. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, adult education is going to give our people in the rural areas an opportunity to have access to education that will build their confidence, because if somebody acquires education, that person builds the confidence to discover things that, maybe, that person was lacking. It expands the skills of that person and it also increases their self-esteem. That person gains a sense of pride from the achievements that that person is going to add to his day to day understanding of how things are moving."
