    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion on the establishment of special needs units in every primary and secondary school. I come from a very big county where we have more than 1,122 primary and secondary public schools. With more than 1,000 schools, we only have 118 units. That means that we have a lot of people living with disabilities who do not have a place to learn. The people living with disabilities in our communities are so many with a lot of talented and gifted children, who when given an opportunity to learn or to join any school around, they can do marvellous things. I support this Motion that we need to have these units in every primary and secondary school, so that our children living with disabilities can get a life and a chance to learn. I have so many cases in my county where we have poor parents who cannot afford to pay for the children in any private or even public school. Most of these schools are private and very expensive and most of our parents cannot afford them. It is my humble request and appeal that as far as we seek to establish these units in our counties, we should also consider not charging children living with disabilities. I support this Motion. Every primary and secondary school should have a unit to help the people in our communities."
