    "content": "Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I wish to support this amendment for two reasons: It will eliminate the automatic discrimination that exists when it refers to people as dumb because they do not communicate with other Kenyans easily. By making the Kenyan Sign language equal to Kiswahili and English, we are saying that it is going to be offered in schools like those other two languages. Therefore, anybody will understand and communicate with them and this will make them feel included. Secondly, by making it an official language, it elevates it from the level of other vernacular languages like Kamba and Dholuo and makes it a more outstanding language because it serves a specific interest and that is going to make it a very important language."
