    "content": "Some of you must have seen in social media a farmer who has no hands; both hands are cut off. He was a potato farmer. He uses his two legs to dig using a jembe, to harvest, pack his potatoes in gunias . It is just fantastic. We cannot say that person is disabled, that person is only abled differently. Therefore, all these children we call “disables” are not disables; they are abled differently. We need to support them and give them necessary facilities to make sure they get what they want. Currently, from my experience, I know so many of them do not go to school. From the time the child is born and the parents realise that the child is disabled in a way or another, that child is kept in the home. Some of them are even hidden. When visitors come, some of them are even chained so that they do not crouch and come to be seen by the visitors. This is a true situation. This Motion is very timely. I support it. We may start with the constituency level depending on the availability of resources. If you look at the serious needs, these facilities are required in almost every school whether it is at national, county, sub-county or ward level. Every school requires this. Thank you."
