    "content": "At one point, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar pointed out issues about Kabarnet School for the Deaf, which was facing delays in capitation. At another time, I also pointed out issues about Mumias School for the Deaf. Therefore, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we once commented on the Floor of this House that when disbursement of capitation to special schools is delayed, it affects all schools. In fact, in some Schools, the heads of these schools are even forced to use their own money to run them. This should not happen in a situation where we seek to say that we are including children with disabilities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know heads of special schools who are terribly frustrated concerning how to manage those schools. When children with disabilities are taken to schools, some parents even neglect and abandon them. They assume that those children belong to the Government. Therefore, there is need for Government to ensure that it is factoring in the issue of children with disabilities. They should do this by ensuring that they not only send capitation in good time, but that they are sending ample capitation that will help even furnish the schools."
