    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to particularly commend the efforts that have been made to deal with areas that have remained with gaps in the management of our education. I want to commend part of this Bill that addresses the area of the Early Childhood Development (ECD). The ECD, as we know it, is one area of the education sectors that have almost existed outside the formal structure of education in terms of financing and staffing. It is good to see that this Bill has made very clear provisions that county governments will now be responsible in a very direct manner. I can see many aspiring governors, including my own aspiring governor for Busia County, hon. Ojaamong, they should note that they are going to carry the challenge of managing this very critical service of ECD. Even as that happens, it is good that the TSC will retain the responsibility and the burden of staffing these schools. I want to hope that as soon as this Bill is enacted, we will see a very clear Motion towards incorporation of the ECD within the broader framework of delivering education to our children."
