    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker is agreeing on how we use a more efficient method of payment, apart from M-Pesa. The M-Pesa that is provided by Safaricom must be audited. We know there are charges that M-Pesa charges before you transfer the money. Who bears this charge? Is it based on the Kshs2,000? Is it the M-Pesa or the Ministry that pays for these charges? So, we need to be told when you use an M-Pesa. There are areas in this country which do not have network. These areas include West Pokot, Tinderet in Nandi, Turkana and many others. Finally, on the issue of Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE), I think we need to agree and have a uniform payment. I do not know whether the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) or the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) should be consulted. In my county, the County Government of Nandi has paid permanent and pensionable ECDE teachers Kshs10,000. That is very little. What can you do with Kshs10,000 today? When you are only paid Kshs10,000 as permanent and pensionable in Nandi-- I really want to thank Sen. Cheruiyot for bringing this issue of ECDE teachers because anywhere you go as a Senator, they will always question why they are in contract or permanent and pensionable and yet they are not being given uniform remuneration. I think, as a Senate, we need to agree on how we can bring uniform remuneration of ECDE teachers. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that indulgence."
