    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this public Petition relates to challenges faced by braille technicians and transcribers. This is now technical. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the citizens of Kenya and in particular the braille technicians and transcribers draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, braille technicians and transcribers play a critical role in the education sector, in particular the educational materials, in order to facilitate pupils and students living with visual disability; THAT, the Government, through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, has continuously disregarded their plight; THAT, although the braille technicians are professionally trained, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has not established a scheme of service for the sake of the said professionals; THAT, in execution of their duties, the said group is faced with numerous challenges, including inadequate remuneration, facilities and equipment; and, THAT, efforts to resolve the stalemate have been futile. Noting further that the issues in respect of which this Petition is made are not pending before any court of law or any constitutional or legal body, your humble Petitioner prays that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, recommends that the Teachers Service Commission engages the braille technicians and transcribers on permanent and pensionable terms and develops a scheme of service for braille technicians and transcribers. Your Petitioners will ever pray. Thank you."
