    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the County Early Childhood Educational Bill. Article 53 of the Constitution of Kenya clearly states that every child has a right to free and compulsory basic education. Since we are dealing with early childhood, the same Constitution, in Fourth Schedule, Part 2, Section 9, states that, that is the function of the county government. That is why it is stated as pre-primary education. We now know that county governments are trying to come up with the necessary enabling legislations. So, it would be better if the Senate could come up with one Bill which will be applicable across the counties, and that is why we need to move fast. I know that there are counties which are coming up with their own specific early childhood education Bills. The earlier we move to provide some framework, the better. This is because we know that the other levels of education; primary, secondary and higher levels are all run at the national level. They are all under uniform standards throughout the country."
