The Kenya Society for the Deaf has launched a push to get Sign Language on the curriculum for all students.
In his Monday address at the Pwani Secondary School for the Deaf in Kilifi Town, Mr. Ng’ang’a urged parents of deaf children to enroll them in the closest schools for the deaf rather than keeping them at home and requesting financial aid from the community.
“Deaf people should be incorporated in government employment and like in Uasin Gishu County where there are at least 15 deaf people employed by the county government, we ask all county governments to take care of all grown deaf people and employ some of them,” said Nganga
Mr. Ng’ang’a urged both levels of government to take steps to protect the property of people with disabilities from dishonest people.
This is after it was discovered that land belonging to the Pwani Secondary Institution for the Deaf which has 136 learners had been acquired by a private developer despite the school possessing a title deed for the 18 acres and an allotment later for another 12 acres.
