    "content": "What are the numbers that we are talking about in our country when we talk about visually impaired persons? The Kenya Society for the Blind notes that there are 45,000 children who are blind. From statistics, there are 224,000 people who are blind and 750,000 visually impaired people in our country. If we combine these statistics, we will realise that if all these people were in one constituency, they would make a big number. These people, individuals or children are living in various parts of our country. They all face one problem of not getting access to a basic right which is education. That is why this Treaty is making it possible for the visually impaired to access education. The famous saying goes that disability is not inability. The reason behind that saying is to ensure that people understand that if one is disabled in any way or form that should not stop him or her from promoting his or her life and the lives of those around him or her."
