    "content": "education. It is during childhood when we should mould our children. It is also important that we are talking about developing a common curriculum for the ECDE in this country. The question of tribalism and ethnicity is a challenge to this Republic. I believe if we develop the values as described in this Bill, and if we follow the spirit of the law with regard to values within our constitutional framework, we will develop a curriculum for early childhood education. The curriculum should be tailored to take into consideration national values. This will help us teach our children what is right. I believe many vices we encounter in our country emanate from poor formation of children. So, formation of children will bring cohesion. We can develop strong nationhood by teaching our children the importance of being one as a country from an early age. At the moment, people can have an idea of who you are by hearing your second name. They even have an idea about what you will talk about in terms of your political orientation. This Bill will go a long way in supporting the development of our country. It is at this level that we can inculcate patriotism and sense of belonging in our children. This is because it is easier to teach our children good values at that level. It should not be like now where children have acquired the attitude that what matters is material glorification and not values. On the regulation of centres, centres should be opened and supported by county governments to develop efficient infrastructure for our young children. This will ensure that both public and private primary school centres are regulated."
