    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to make a comment on the statement by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education on the matter of the current study that they are doing on ECDE to come up with a uniform scheme of service for the ECDEs. This would be one of the greatest achievements of this Senate if this matter was prioritised because we have a crisis in the management of ECDE in our counties. It is high time that the Standing Committee on Education finalised this report brought to this House, so that we can pass it and have it implemented in our counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, very soon they will present a report on their findings after they have reviewed the bursary funds in counties. We have found out that the bursary funds in our counties have been misused and mismanaged. It is illegal for our counties to continue appropriating money into these bursary funds, or the so-called governor's scholarship funds, when that is not a devolved, but national Government function. They are putting money in these funds, at the same time starving the ECDE and vocational training centres of the funds that are required to run them efficiently."
