    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this very important Bill. As my colleagues have said, from the outset, this is the fundamental basis upon which education is built. It is at this point that abilities and disabilities are identified. It is at this point that teachers will be able to spot individuals with talents whether they are dramatists or have certain added acumen. It is also at this time that the character of that young person is built into the future. Currently, our education system appears to be desegregated between what is at the national level and the county level. There are certain things that the education establishment has identified, that learners at the ECD level belong to the community, and that is why it has been given to the right authority, namely, the county governments. Whereas counties such as Marsabit, where I come from, have done a tremendous job in terms of making sure that every primary school has an ECD centre, we want them to go further and establish a link between ECD, primary school and secondary school, so that there is seamless transition in our education system particularly at the local level. As Members of Parliament, we have the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). County governments have been told to look after the ECDs. The danger in some of these things is that many in the counties do not put a lot of weight particularly in ensuring that there is linkage between ECD and primary schools. The teachers in primary schools are employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) whereas ECD teachers are employed by the county governments.
