    "content": "We must also look at issues of persons with disabilities in our counties. When we talk about healthcare, every county must have rehabilitation centres. Persons with disabilities live in counties and belong to counties. Many counties have never been responsible for their persons with disabilities. They leave matters to do with persons with disabilities to Nairobi. They travel all the way from Migingo to Nairobi looking for wheelchairs. It is high time that the governors understood that persons with disabilities belong to the counties. We must be serious. My colleagues have spoken about another devolved function: Early Childhood Development Education. It is huge. Early Childhood Development teachers in almost every county are not recognised anywhere by their county governments, yet they provide the basic education requirements for our children as a foundation. I see the challenges that continue to face our people right from our homesteads. The money should not go to address big things for the national Government. Early Childhood Development teachers must be recognised. They are usually underpaid and overworked, yet they lay the best foundation for our children. As Members of Parliament, we must protect ECD teachers in this country and allocation must be given."
