Madam Deputy Speaker, without these EARCs in the counties, we will talk about an inclusive education. However, if children with disabilities are left out, it means that they will not achieve this call when we are leaving them out.

EARCs in this case should be established in each county. They should be equipped so that they are able to assess, intervene and place children in the right schools and places. This is so that materials are provided for them so that they live normal lives like other children.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Madzayo had not left, I would have asked whether it is in order to bring a used mask before the House. However, it is unfortunate that he left the House immediately so I hope that mask is not used.

That person was a sole bread winner---
