The deaf need equal access to education, Kenya told



Kenya on Monday joined the rest of the world in marking the

An official with the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights,
Bernard Mwongesa, urged the government to improve the provision of
sign language in local schools to facilitate learning for those who
are hard of hearing.
