    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to add my voice to this important Motion brought by my sister Mishi. Aware of that Act that my Hon. Member was quoting the other time, we agree that there is a serious need of, once again, looking at the educational plight of the children and people with disability and special needs all over the country. That is so that they can learn in one way or the other. I want to bring it to the attention of the House that much as all the speakers have been concentrating on thinking about physical disabilities like blindness, limbs affected in one way or the other, deafness and things like that, I want to let the House know that there are people who are looking normal in every other way but have special needs. In a normal classroom, for example, having been a teacher over a number of years, I am aware there could be some children who have serious intelligence quotient ( IQ) that make them abnormal. Even the teachers cannot cope with their learning speeds. That is also a special interest group that may need to be taken care of in our secondary and primary schools. There are others who are even physically normal in every way but their learning capacity and ability is very slow. Again, this is a special needs group that needs to come to the attention of Kenyans. It is not only those who have some physical impairment that can be categorised as people with special learning needs.
