• TV news broadcasts and other programs will be required to include Kenyan Sign Language interpretation on at least one-third of the screen.
• Key proponents include Millie Odhiambo and Umulkher Harun.
• The Bill also mandates the integration of Kenyan Sign Language into education and professionalizes sign language interpreters through registration and licensing.
