    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. This Bill is very important to our ECD centres. If you look at ECD centres in our constituencies and counties, you will notice that they lack important structures for education of our children. The passage of this Bill will ensure that there is monitoring of teachers in ECD centres. The ECD is a foundation to our education and if it is not firm, then the whole structure will not be stable. In my area, some ECD centres do not have classrooms. At times, when you hold a function in some of the institutions, as an MP, you will realise that you are allocating funds for construction of primary schools, but the early childhood learners study under trees. The passage of this Bill will ensure that we have standardised classrooms for all the ECD centres. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, some ECD teachers are not trained and to my surprise, county governments have not employed enough teachers for the centres. Some centres do not even have teachers. This Bill will ensure that ECD teachers are trained and are available in all the centres. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
