    "content": "Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I rise to support this amendment by hon. Wanjiku Muhia, who is a member of the Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association. The questions that are being asked are two. Number one is: Does it apply to the private sector? Yes, because this House legislates for both the public and private sectors. Number two is the cost element. That is the element that has been discriminatory for persons with disabilities in this country. When you want to provide services for persons with disabilities, you are reminded that it is too costly. That has been the greatest challenge. You can be assigned a Kenyan Sign Language interpreter while at the same time being a doctor or a banker. So, it is not in isolation. This law seeks to ensure that even the various corporations that we have can train their staff on Kenya Sign Language. That would go a very long way in providing services for deaf Kenyans."
