Most of our banks are not accessible and our colleagues are served outside. This is not good. The banks have to be accessible to everyone because everyone needs confidentiality. In public schools, we have a big problem. Students using wheelchairs have to depend on others because they cannot move on their own to classes. Even sanitation is very poor. There are no disability-friendly toilets. This makes sanitation in schools very bad for the disabled. So, we need change in our schools so that our children can enjoy their rights like others.

I like this Bill because it provides that protection of traditional cultural expressions and communities will be recognised. The Bill ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to thank the hon. Member for bringing this Bill to this House. It is a Bill that touches many people especially those in the rural areas. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has done well in trying to pay for the pupils’ examination fees but most of the pupils cannot make it for that examination because their parents cannot sustain paying their school fees. The school fees is too high. If we pay examination fees and pupils do not sit for that examination, it will not make sense. So, I ...
