    "content": "the right attention is also very critical for our counties. The fact that nursery schools or Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres have been devolved gives the county governments a very big opportunity to make sure that the foundation of our children in terms of formation is got right. I support this Motion and urge my sister, Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, to make sure it moves from being a Motion to a Bill. We will make sure that in our respective counties, whatever is due to our children or young mothers who must also attend to other duties, is taken care of, and our mothers have peace of mind any time they are away from home. You can drop your child at a daycare, go do your work, and then from work you pick the child again. That is a provision that can be made. It would be very nice if Kenya could have that. Together with that, we should also be organizing on how to feed our children because in the villages children do not have food. They do not take breakfast; they do not take uji in the morning. If there could be daycare or a proper nursery schools where they could go and also feed, even if they had only one meal, that would do for them. Sometimes the mothers go for business and come back with nothing. Therefore, the child has nothing to eat in the morning. We are not doing politics here or just talking, these are things that we see every day. I personally run a daycare at home for the benefit of the children. I run it in the interest of the community, and you realise that whatever those children took for breakfast and lunch, that is all they have for the day. In the evening most of them will go. If a child can have one or two meals, even if they miss the evening one or even if they ate a lesser but nutritious one, it would still be better and that child will develop the way they are supposed to. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Motion. I thank you."
