    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the observations of the Petitioner because of some of the crimes that he has enumerated. Usually, people who are suspected do not get charged in any way. The conceptualization of the fact is that, if you have done tax evasion, money laundering or if you have been involved in drugs, you should be taken before a special commission. This is a very well thought-out idea. However, we need to ask ourselves what is not happening with regard to the already established institutions that are there to ensure that such crimes are dealt with. Petitions are a good avenue for members of the public and, indeed, us MPs, to present issues that are of concern to Kenyans. I am very glad because I brought a Petition here for Education, Assessment and Resource Centers (EARC) on their funding and issues to do with special schools. As we speak, funding to those institutions has been increased for the first time by the Government of Kenya. Therefore, Kenyans will take this opportunity to ensure that they use this chance to highlight their issues. Today as we speak, special needs education teachers and the EARC officers can comfortably assess learners with disabilities and place them in various schools for them to get education, which is a great equaliser. I rise to support."
