    "content": "has been said before, no laws in Kenya, either the Constitution (Amendment) Bill, an Act of Parliament, has been seen to be perfect. There shall be shortcomings here and there. So, the 20 per cent which has been around in Kenya has not always been good and has been attended to later after ten years, and has also been included in this Bill. As I was looking at it, I found that there is a place in Clause 40 in the Bill which states that a child can only be admitted when they are four to six years, but age should not be a barrier. We have not been informed where the child of three to four years should be by that time. That is the stage we are currently taking children to early childhood education. So, we do not know what happens between year three to year four. At the same time, the responsibility of the parent and guardian has been enumerated here to ensure that a child is registered for the early childhood education and the parents or guardian must do that. The Bill states the person to assist the child to work in conjunction with the village elders. They are forgetting that there is a 20 per cent… As I am talking, there is a Bill pending before this Parliament about village managers. We said that they should be considered for some little allowance to motivate them so that they can assist in administration of local matters. However, here in this Bill, they have been given more duties than those they had and yet their welfare is not being considered."
