    "content": "I support this Bill because it has also taken care of special needs. Many parents keep their children with special needs in a confined environment. You may not even know that there is a child with special needs in that household who needs to get education. This Bill seeks to support such children. It opens doors for children with special needs to go to school. It is important for those running the ECDE centres that are meant to take care of these children to equip themselves with the necessary tools and skills to assist in identifying the special needs of the children they are taking care of. I also support the penalty that has been provided of a fine not exceeding Kshs10,000 to those who will not take their children to ECDE centres as articulated in Article 53 of our Constitution. This Bill is long overdue. As parents, we will be out there to make sure that our children get this free and compulsory early childhood education. I support the Bill."
