    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to congratulate the committee for a good job and for taking the role of the Senate very seriously. In particular, I commend their role in putting a lot of focus on our interaction with the county governments and counties. Reading this report, I was excited that the interactions were with the real policy makers and implementers at the local level, that is the county government and ECD institutions; various primary schools such as Saria, Ikonge and polytechnics like Matongo in Nyamira County. It is important that we contextualize our role as the Senate, particularly when it comes to the functions of county governments as highlighted in Schedule Four of the Constitution. Today I want to speak about the most important function here, which is the ECD. There has been a lot of clamour by the county governments that they want to be given all education functions. Basically, that they want transfer of functions under Article 187 to give them the opportunity to serve the people of the counties by building primary and secondary institutions. But there is a big test for them; this is the early childhood 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"
