    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. In doing so, I will start by congratulating the Committee on Education, Information and Technology for making these tours to the counties. Indeed, this is what we have been encouraging. Instead of committees going out of the country and benchmarking out there, we want them to go round our country and see the real problems that exist in our educational sector. Let me go on record in appreciating the system our committees are using, in visiting counties and seeing for themselves the problems that we have. I want to associate myself with the sentiments expressed by the Committee as far as the development of ECD is concerned. This is what is lacking particularly in a number of counties where as of now; this education has been left to parents. They deal with it to the extent they can manage. That is why we have disparities in the education systems in Kenya. That is why after the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations results are announced, some schools perform very well whilst others perform very poorly. This is the foundation of education. If you look round, those districts, as they were, where parents developed ECDs and paid teachers well always perform well. The foundation has been laid firmly and the schools have performed very well. We are now in the devolved system of government and counties have funds to pay teachers well. We should see an improvement in these institutions. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
