    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill touches on salient issues that give effect to Articles 7(3)(b) and 54(d) of the Constitution on promotion of Kenyan Sign Language. The Constitution allows us to promote Kenyan Sign Language. In as much as the Constitution allows us to promote the Kenyan Sign Language, many people in this country are not aware of what Sign Language means. When we talk of Sign Language, it is a way of expressing concepts and ideas for the purpose of being understood. If you go to Uganda, they have their own way of expressing ideas in Sign Language, so that they are understood. In Kenya, we have our own way. All countries have their own way. When we talk of Kenyan Sign Language, we are referring to all forms of communication that are used within Kenya by deaf adults and other people to ensure communication. It must be very clear that all that is Kenyan Sign Language. The definition has been enriched by the stakeholders. This Bill has gone through the First Reading and been published. Public participation has been done. The definition has also been enriched by Prof. Ndurumo."
