    "content": "few schools of ECDE classes made of mabati and such like materials. A child cannot enjoy such an environment. We must, first of all, deal with the ECDE mess that is in existence with the counties handling education. If they can do that, the devolution process in Article 188 remains. If we feel that in the next five or ten years we are able to deal with these issues as a nation or as counties, then we will sit down and assess the issue of education and devolution. The experience we have had for the last two years does not encourage us. Personally, it does not encourage me to go to the devolution of education as we have done with health. Right now in Nakuru Provincial Hospital, nobody is attending to patients. Doctors are on strike. The same thing is happening to Lamu where six doctors resigned at once and it became a crisis. We must not do the mistake we did with health. Now that we have devolved what we needed to devolve at that time, we should engage more experts in this field before we take any action. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion should look at more fundamental issues like equipment of schools and leave out the naming. Let us deal with the variations first so that whether you go to Iyego or Kahuhia, you have a chance in life. I was certain if I went to Iyego, despite being a bright child, I would not have had the chance to go to university. This is because during selection, they would have picked the lower performing children and they will always be the best among the worst. So, you will always lead with a C-(minus) and think you are very good. If we can deal with these variations, then we can now talk about devolution of education. I would support this Motion, but cautiously hoping that it can be elaborated or looked at again by Sen. (Dr.) Zani and her team to see where we could intervene first. Do we deal with the infrastructure first and the naming later? We should start with equipping schools, posting of teachers and general resources. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
