    "content": "I am also looking at our country and the world at large. I saw a research from the Kenya National Alliance of Deaf Persons which showed that we have more than 500,000 deaf persons in our country. We do not have secondary schools for these people in our country. Also, I want to congratulate hon. Dalmas Otieno for starting a school in Gucha called Rongo Special School for the Deaf. Most of these schools that cater for the deaf like Kaaga, Engineer School for the Deaf in Nyandarua and the one in Karen only have Class Eight level. So, once a deaf person completes Class Eight he or she attends tertiary colleges. They never attend high schools. So, we have a shortage of educational facilities for these people. Even if these people wanted to pursue further education, facilities are limited. I would like to tell the Ministry concerned that we need more schools for deaf persons. Possibly in every county, we could have these schools."
