    "content": "remember we used to move our livestock from Narok, Mau Forest, all the way to Tanzania. Our parents trusted that we can look after cows, we can defend those cows against wild animals, and we can build our own houses in the jungle and live with our livestock for months. Children nowadays are pampered too much. They are channeled in a way that they can only learn, write and compete in exams. But they lack survival skills. The CBC will bring out the talents that are hidden, especially for persons with disability. If you must know, the best mathematician in the world is a person living with autism. If their talent was not brought out, if he was given science and other subjects’ exams, he would have been deemed a failure. But he is the best mathematician and he is a person living with autism. So, this CBC will bring out our hidden talents as persons with disabilities. Again, we would like county governments to make sure that basic education is as free as possible, without the commercialization of education. While I was in the University of Nairobi (UoN), we were against parallel degree programmes where we were tortured and even suspended because of being against commercialization of education; where an “A” without money will become a “D” and a “D” with money will become an “A”. That is because you could afford the best courses. So, I implore upon this Bill so that we can make sure that, as much as we have this mediated version of the Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bill No. 26 of 2016), early childhood education should be free to every child so that we can have a proper foundation for all our kids across the board, without considering the purchasing power and their financial muscles. With those very many remarks, I support 100 per cent. I thank you."
