    "content": "their budget to ECDE. As I said, our counties are going through transition. Transition is a very sensitive process, but we must well equip our ECDE institutions in this country. There are counties that are doing well. However, we need do a research in those counties and establish how much of their budget goes to ECDE. We must make it mandatory for them to allocate 10 per cent of their budget to ECDE. We need to revise the methodologies put in place and prioritize ECDE. For those not doing well, we will need to find out the challenges they are facing. This way, we will guarantee the growth and wellbeing of our children. Nobody in this country wants their children to grow in an abusive environment. Many children have been abused in daycare centres. That is why many parents no longer take their children to daycare centres. Therefore, we need standardized and well-equipped institutions for our children. Let us prioritize funding of these institutions. Any governor or county official who does not put the interest of children first should not be in those offices. In conclusion, I support this Motion. I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for bringing it. I pray that it is developed into a Bill, so that counties implement all these good proposals by my colleagues in order to take care of our children. Thank you."
