    "content": "bottom of my heart because of some of the experiences I have had with this particular problem. Whereas in the body of the Motion the distinguished Senator for Kirinyaga would like that we have a minimum of 47 such schools in this country, my humble submission is that in the fullness of the debate we should actually move an amendment so that we increase them to a minimum of 290 schools so that each sub-county and constituency can have one such school. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, I say this because this problem is real. I am a doctor of medicine and I see children who are going to be potential users of these schools having had difficulty at birth. We have cases of prolonged labour whereby a child then ends up having a destroyed brain. The child will automatically end up alive, but with mental retardation. We are talking about children who are born with special conditions like the down syndrome which we call mongolism in normal English. These children actually need these schools. It is a fact that many parents hide these kind of children. Therefore, if they hear on national radio or through any other media a policy from the Senate that every sub-county is going to build such a school, that shame is reduced. In fact, they will know that somebody is listening to their plight and willing to support them. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a real life experience with this kind of problem. I have a kid brother of mine who was born in 1971 with mongolism. Since Luhya parents keep so much out of experience, they knew that this kind of child will not live to get into adulthood. However, when I qualified as a doctor, and this was my father’s last born, I decided to take a special interest in the boy. Born in 1971, his name is Anthony Khalwale. We have nicknamed him Kalulu because he used to entertain the family the way Juha Kalulu of Taifa Leo newspaper used to entertain us, for those of you who were reading those stories. The boy ended up just having two talents in life. The first one was that he could entertain us. He could dance and every other time, he danced"
