    "content": "one time, they were referred to as babysitters. When we talk about babysitters, then we are not talking about an ECDE centre. We are talking about baby care units and we are mistaking them for ECDE centres. There is a big problem that needs to be corrected. This Bill was in the best place to help us sort out this matter. There is the whole issue of standards and buildings. What is happening in my constituency - and which is almost shameful - is that a budget is placed for an ECDE centre and, all of a sudden, it is done on a private land. Right now, there are three or more in my constituency. They are going to be lost. They are constructed regardless of the cost, and Members have been discussing that. The cost is fairly high if you compare with what NG-CDF is doing. They are built on private land because there are no guidelines. Somebody just proposes an ECDE centre and they go ahead and construct units in a place that is very far from a primary school. For practical purposes, ECDE centres that are constructed outside primary schools will definitely miss the kind of teachers one would require. Those that are within primary schools will get the teachers that will teach up to Standard Three. The Bill ought to have addressed that confusion. Those are the areas that I wanted to bring out. I want to believe Hon. Kang’ata will not be very far from them given that, that was a clear assignment. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
