    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the mediated version of the Senate Bill, No. 26 of 2018. As we look at this Bill, let me also state that the degree of neglect in most ECDE) centres is obviously deplorable. All these centres, majority are domiciled within primary schools that are also within our mandate and is an eye sore to primary schools that we have already worked on. The ECDE has been neglected to a large extent across all constituencies and this can be attested by all constituency MPs. Many times we are forced, because of embarrassment, to ensure, even if it is not within our mandate, that we do something to make it a little bit friendly for the children. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a lot that was done, because I was a Member of the Mediated Committee was to align the Bill to the Basic Education Act for the simple reason that there should be no conflict between what is in the Act and what we were recommending. Further, we were talking about issues of the role of the sponsor and within the Act, it is very clear that we maintain what is contained in the Act which is to provide financial and infrastructural support to the centres."
