The Kenya Society For Deaf Children has protested against an alleged plan by a private developer to grab part of their 30-acre parcel of land.
The property in question belongs to Pwani Secondary School for the Deaf in Kilifi County.
The issue came to light when top Society Board officials, led by Francis Ng’ang’a, visited the school to support Form Four candidates ahead of the exams.
According to Mr Ng’ang’a, the Kenya Society for the Deaf has 30 acres in Kilifi – 18 acres already have a title deed – while the remaining 12-acre parcel have an allotment letter.
“When we came here we found some crazy people who are putting beacons on this land, this land has a title deed belonging to the Kenya Society for Deaf Children, the society that has put up Pwani Secondary school for the deaf, “he said.
Ng’ang’a, a former powerful KNUT Secretary General, urged the government to act immediately to protect Pwani Secondary School for the Deaf, whose land is under threat.
As a society, he said they were committed to working with the government to put up a University for deaf children.
“We need the Government to come forward with a program to put a university for deaf children while we are urging the Government to cooperate to come up with the University for deaf children we cannot have crazy people from wherever they may come from come and interfere with this school, “he said.
Ng’ang’a who was accompanied by the Board members and Trustees of the Kenya Society for Deaf Children said they are visiting all their children to donate foodstuff in areas where they are facing famine.
Already those behind the grabbing plans are underway for them to be prosecuted for attempting to invade the deaf school.
Also present during the tour was the national Chairman for parents with deaf children Geoffery Wathiga, Treasurer Patrick Mutsunga, Director Rhoda Kabiti, George Gachanja a programs officer together with trustees and board members.
Kabiti said their visit was meant to wish the Deaf children well ahead of the KCSE that is around the corner.
