    "content": "harmonization in terms of schemes of service, and you know, ECDE teachers play a unique role. These are the people when your child just starts to walk, they do not only teach our children learning, but they also teach them manners. They also assist them in using toilet facilities, how to be clean and how to tuck in. You can imagine one county is paying Kshs10,000, another is paying Kshs20,000. We must have a harmonized ECDE scheme of service, so that as a country, we can be proud of our ECDE teachers. I agree with the Standing Committee on Education, but they are taking too long. I want to ask them to fast-track and give us the status of ECDE status implementation in terms of what is going on across the country. In conclusion, if the Standing Committee on Education feels that we need national legislation, as the Senate, National Assembly and Parliament, we are ready to do a national legislation that will bring a standardized schemes of service. However, we are not trying to encroach on the role that we have in terms of ECDE being devolved. I heard my brother, my neighbour, Sen. Godfrey Osotsi, and I want him to advise his colleagues of his coalition because they have been blaming the national Government for the doctors’ strike. I am happy with what he said about health being devolved. He should be saying it on Sundays and in funeral services, so that we are fair in this country."
