    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I find this a very important Bill to speak to even if it is for a minute or two because I think finally this Senate is starting to implement its obligations under the Bill of Rights. Kenya must move towards what at that time we called a human rights state. This Bill is actually in furtherance of Article 53 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to ensure that there is free and compulsory education for all the young people in the Republic. In fact, as I have said here before, the most important responsibility we have in life is to give education to our children. I think counties must be given a framework of obligations. If we do not enact this Bill, then we are going to have varying standards depending on the commitments each county will put into the ECDE centres. I think this Bill standardizes the system so that we can ensure that as the nation grows, we are able to have a standard level of development so that we do not have people from various counties being prepared in life more than others based on lack of investment in infrastructure."
