    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Statement from Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. Indeed, it is a very important Statement, particularly during this Deafness Awareness Month. She has brought to the fore very many issues that affect people affected with deafness. I am sure that from today, we shall be informed of some of the causes that lead to deafness. We will then be able to champion for the prevention as well as to advocate for identification of the people affected by deafness. This is because I have realised that they vary in terms of deafness and, for that matter, we need proper identification methods in addition to treatment. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very important Statement because most deaf people have been left behind due to lack of proper communication. This is so, bearing in mind that there are very few people that have an understanding of sign language. Consequently, the deaf may have issues when it comes to accessing transport and schooling. They might find themselves in schools with the rest of the students who area not deaf. In any case, it is high time that issues of the deaf should be looked into and even assisted with the provision of gadgets. They can also be taken to schools where they can be treated better. Otherwise, this is a very important Statement and we thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, because it is going to become a Bill. With those few remarks, I beg to support. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
