    "content": "I want to appreciate every single contribution, including from my colleague and friend, Hon. Rono, who also took the opportunity to make his contribution to congratulate Elgeyo/ Marakwet County Assembly for not passing the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. I guess this allows me to also congratulate the Nyeri County Assembly and the other 42 county assemblies that passed the Bill. One of the things I appreciate about this particular Bill is that we, as a country, have this habit of assuming that education starts from Grade One or Standard One. We forget that there is that portion that Hon. Gathoni spoke about where in the past, you used to use your hands to measure whether you were ready to go to school. This Bill gives us an opportunity to standardise pre-primary education across the country. It provides a situation where we are not only creating basic infrastructure, but we are also creating a legal framework under which county governments can work because ECD education centres are within their mandate."
