"content": "You will be shocked to learn that the qualifications of those who examine the Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) or Form Four in the Kenya Examination Council, teach in pre-school. It is that serious. This is because the area is not being developed. Therefore, I would like the universities to take up this issue because they do research and can correct some of these issues. There was a time Kiswahili had an issue in the country and it was not examined. I remember it took quite a while for it to be examined. However, when it started being examined at the university level, it cascaded to other levels. So, people need to have the basic sign language skills so that they can interact with the deaf. We should not be unfair to our deaf children by giving them inappropriate input and when it comes to output, we want them to be like the rest. This is painful and should not happen. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take you back to when we were growing up. However, you qualify to be my son-in-law because we did not grow up at the same time.
