    "content": "Another issue I am happy about is the fact that the Bill seeks to provide a framework for the establishment of the infrastructure necessary to support provision of quality education in ECD centres. It is clear from the Bill that ECD centres are meant to be funded by the county governments. It is unfortunate that if you go round the country, you will notice that our primary schools are continuously being improved by constructing additional classrooms and undertaking renovations, but our ECD centres, in most of our constituencies, are actually an eyesore. What has happened is that governors have concentrated their efforts in other areas of development and ignored education simply because education is devolved. What they have forgotten, and this Bill wishes to remind them, is that education at the level of ECDs is domiciled in the counties. Therefore, governors have to ensure that they provide resources for the establishment and improvement of infrastructure for provision of that education."
