    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to start by congratulating my colleague, hon. Wanjiku Muhia, for bringing this Bill to the House. I support it for our sisters and brothers who are unable to watch or listen to what is happening around the nation. It is important that our television or the media industry considers those who are unable to hear or watch, especially now, when everybody is enjoying the World Cup football contest. Our deaf and blind brothers and sisters are unable to follow what is happening. So, it is very important for them to be considered in the future, so that as we watch such games they can also be watching with us and, together, we will be celebrating. When it comes to their movement from one place to another, we have issues which are really disturbing. Just as my sister and colleague, hon. Janet said, even in Kakamega County, we have such issues, which are very disturbing; especially when it comes to movement when it rains. You find that most disabled men and women are unable to reach their businesses in the market to carry on with their business to ensure that they can put some food on the table. So, it is very important that we also look into how they can make their movement from place to another. When it comes to organisation, some of our disabled brothers and sisters are also learned but sometimes it is not easy for them to be employed. I believe that once we have all the proposed facilities all over, they can also bring some benefit to this country. So, we need to look into this issue because it is very important, considering the fact that not all of them will afford modern wheelchairs that can make them self-reliant."
