    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was saying that the TSC, county governments and the national Government must join hands to employ more teachers to raise the ratio of pupil to teacher to acceptable levels. This is because there is no need of taking children to school when they cannot even attend classes. Teachers are not enough to attend to these children. There is a provision in this Bill which says that the duty of a principal when he notices that a child is missing in school is to investigate and consult village leaders on the whereabouts of that child. Some of these things look nice on paper but are very difficult to implement. We must find a way of taking children to school. County governments must look at the issue of people setting up homes for children, taking street children there and soliciting money for the homes. Street children and homeless children must also be taken to school. I support this Bill because it is very important. Early childhood education will give a good and stable foundation to children who will take over the country at a later stage. Thank you very much."
