    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank Hon. Mishi for tabling a Motion which is very dear to my heart. It is a reality that we have a problem in this country. As leaders, we are the ones who are approached by people who need those facilities or who need our help. In the 9th Parliament, I put up a facility for persons with disabilities. It is called the Disability Resource Information Centre (DRIC). It is working and people come to get the resources they need. Unfortunately, it did not take up with the vibe I would have wished it to by the time I left office. Now I have come back and during Easter, we organised a half-marathon to fundraise for the disability cause. We are in the process of finishing a technical institution for people living with disabilities where we will integrate other students. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this thing is real. On Monday – it is my usual day of visiting my constituents - I was confronted by six deaf persons. It is very difficult to communicate with them. We know that sign language is an official language in the Constitution, but we have not taken the trouble to try to learn it. It is something that we should take up."
