On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the Senate held its sittings in Uasin Gishu County last year, the Committee on Education launched books on special needs education that are supposed to be used as instructional materials in schools. The books that were launched were Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) approved. They included charts, learners and teacher’s guide copies that are handy to not only persons with special needs, but persons without disabilities.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, the said books are still available in volumes. I would like to go on record that as the Senator representing persons with disabilities, I want to make a donation to Kitui, Machakos and Makueni counties when we go for the sittings in Kitui County.

There is a dire need for people, especially those with special needs, to learn sign language. The President launched the Special Needs Sector Policy which states clearly that there is a void in special needs education because materials are lacking. I would, therefore, like to state that---

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I started moving this Motion yesterday. Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) are disadvantaged from an early age. When parents have children with disabilities, they do not take them to school immediately. In fact, they get so frustrated with their children because they do not know what is going on in their lives. That is why they take too long to enroll them in schools.
