    "content": "Thank you, Millie. As I continue, I had requested to congratulate the County Assembly of Elgeyo Marakwet for shooting down the BBI. Elgeyo Marakwet is where I come from. I thank them for stating their stand which was quite commendable. Whereas the BBI has reached where it has, at least, we have our say and the other members can have their way. The foundation of education is what we have had many Hon. Members state. This mediated Bill was long overdue. We have rightfully heard from the Bill that it will carry along even the disabled members of the society. That is quite commendable. You sometimes see structures which are put up in the counties or in our schools by the county governments, which do not give consideration to the disabled children. It is very unfortunate. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, now that we have this Bill and a board that will be looking into this, we should make sure that those standardisations that Members have mentioned are put in place. We should have standard classrooms for all ECD centres, irrespective of whether they are public or private schools. We have people who are fond of opening private nursery schools with funny mabati structures with holes and you can see children peeping and cannot even concentrate. This registration aspect is important that you cannot be registered if you do not have proper learning structures. The early childhood education is now under the county government while the national Government handles primary and secondary schools’ education, but we need to have some harmonisation. You cannot have stone walled classrooms for primary school while the ECD centres have mabati classrooms. The children feel isolated and discriminated. We should standardise infrastructure. I support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
