    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. Allow me to speak on the two Statements. One, the Statement by the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, and two, the Statement by the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I echo the sentiments made by the Senator for Kitui, Sen. Wambua, on Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE). If there is one thing that I would encourage the Standing Committee on Education to handle, is the issue of ECDE. Sen. Wambua has rightly put it that this House passed a resolution to have a uniform ECDE scheme of service. However, that is not implemented. Different counties have different schemes of service. As we are speaking now, in my county, the ECDE teachers have been on strike for close to two months. The issue is in court. Nothing seems to be happening. It looks like the Governor and his Executive are unable to resolve this problem. The Senate has to stamp its authority and insist that we need to have a uniform scheme of service for the ECDE teachers and resolve issues around ECDE teachers in our counties. The second issue is on devolution. I am so impressed that the Standing Committee of Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations went to Trans Nzoia and resolved the challenge between the Governor of Trans Nzoia and the Deputy Governor. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
