• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: EARCs that were established were 17. They were fully equipped with all the accessories and what was needed to ensure that children with disabilities were identified and placed at the right time. It is unfortunate that as we are speaking right now, the EARCs have been neglected, abandoned and are dysfunctional. That has implication for the life and future of children with disabilities. As we prepare other children through the school systems, so that eventually, they can exit to the world of work, we seriously need think about these children with disabilities. We can start by identifying children with disabilities ... view

• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: grounds are not levelled properly to ensure that children with disabilities do not encounter problems. I urge teachers make sure these children are comfort in their schools. Madam Deputy Speaker, parents who have children with disabilities go through painful moments because no one seems to understand them. I have a friend who has an autistic child. She did not know about it and I explained to her that when assessed him. We need to be champions on these issues and encourage parents who have children with disabilities. Madam Deputy Speaker, EARCs play a big role in ensuring that they encouraging ... view

• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: need to have some training on how to help the learners. We have many categories of such learners such as those who are slow learners. Children who have learning disabilities can be helped in a normal school. They do not have to go to a special school. We have children who are gifted and talented. Such children can be placed in regular schools so that they are not frustrated. I urge the national Government together with the county governments, to ensure EARCs are operational in this country. Kenya is a signatory to the United Nations (UN) Conventions on the rights ... view

• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: I thank the Directorate of Legal Services with Dr. Okello and his team, because they are already working on it. We are progressing very well. I know that Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri will give very valuable input to this Bill. I will consult him as we progress with the Bill. I thank Sen. Were, who has brought out a very important issue, that children with disabilities are hidden. It is a fact. If they are hidden, it becomes very difficult for them to get out of their houses and go to school. She has rightly mentioned that Education Assessment and Research ... view

• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: PWDs, because disability marginalizes someone. Once you have a disability, you are already marginalized. When we went to Naivasha, we got an opportunity to meet the Hon. Raila Odinga about marginalization of persons with disabilities in legislation and all that. I want to report that he gave us an ear, and I thank him for that. I spoke to him together with Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura, he listened and we presented our memorandum to him. It was very clear. Even the President has said that issues of disability will be handled. It is also very clear that the Rt. Hon. Raila ... view
