    "content": "We constructed a nursery school with National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) in my constituency as an emergency because the walls looked like they would collapse on those children. I did not want it to happen. When the county government conducted public participation in Wote Town, they abandoned that particular nursery school which is near the technical college in Wote Town in Makueni County. Although it was not part of our programmes under NG-CDF, I constructed it. Although ECD education is a function of the county governments, we have to work together to make sure that every child has access to education at that early age. Some ECD education centres are run as children depositories. You go and deposit children there, so that they can have care and learn something. All that needs to be regularized. We should make sure that whoever will be with them is fit to be with them and well-trained. The colleges which train ECD teachers have to be synchronized. We have to make sure that they are monitored well, licensed and able to comply with the law, so that we can have uniformity at that level. This will help us to attend equally to all our children who attend ECD education centres. This Bill is arbitrated. Originally, it was a Senate Bill. When it came to us, it was mediated so that we can have something to serve our children and people."
