"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to Second the Motion by my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, language learning and acquisition takes place effectively in early childhood. Children with disabilities have a right to learn English. This is because all subjects are taught in English and, therefore, people with special needs should be taught English so that they can conform to the curriculum of this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, English language is largely taught internationally. The disabled people are among the international communities and, therefore, it is good for them to be taught English so that they are not left behind. Colleges and Universities use English in all subjects and, therefore, we need to also teach English to our disabled people so that we move together with them That is why the Ministry of Education should set aside a kitty for the development of English in schools. The county governments should also allocate funds to cater for the special needs of the disabled people. This includes the Braille equipment which can be used in classrooms. If this kitty is set aside, be it by the national Government or the county governments, it will enable these people to get the special equipment that they use in their learning. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Motion."
