    "content": "reason we recommend that is because we have appreciated the important role played by ECDs, since they are the foundation of every aspect of education. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during our county oversight and engagement visits, we interacted with the county executives in charge of education and what they were saying is that most of them are ready to recruit the teachers, but they lack the capacity to do so. As you are aware, the devolved function is just new and whenever something is new, there must be some challenges. We are urging the national Government to take this initial stage in building the capacity of the counties when it comes to recruiting because earlier on, it is the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) which used to recruit teachers. When you look at the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, the ECD function is a devolved function. We would really like that even the recruitment of teachers be devolved. Without the county governments having the capacity to recruit these teachers, deployment will be a challenge. So, it is high time that the national Government came in so that, at least, the devolved function could be devolved completely, so that the county governments can take over the process fully and not partly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
