"content": "have Kiswahili originating from there, teach this language if it is not such an important tool of communication? Leaving out learners with hearing disability is discrimination that should be addressed immediately. It is cutting them off from society, communication and businesses. In fact, I dare say even out there for people who want to expand their businesses, they want to have a person who can speak Kiswahili language. This is because East Africa is one of the developing economic blocs. Everybody would want to be part of this development, but you cannot be fully part of it if you do not learn Kiswahili language. I think my colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, can even move further to ensure that we have proper provisions of law that take care of these particular aspects of learners with hearing disability. If the blind, physically challenged and people with other forms of disabilities are learning Kiswahili, why not those with impaired hearing? That is discrimination. I think this is the only way that we can address this. I support this Motion."
