    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill that is sponsored by Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Sen. (Dr.) Langat. First and foremost, it is good that we have a regulating law on early childhood education, which is one of the most important parts of education for our children. Initially, when counties started employing teachers, they ran into problems with the TSC and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) because Article 237 of the Constitution stipulates that it is the TSC that supposed to register, employ and pay teachers. The only body according to Article 237 of the Constitution mandated to employ and register teachers is the TSC. I, therefore, wonder if we will not run into problems again with the unions and the TSC if we use the word ‘teachers’ in this Bill - and I hope Sen. (Dr.) Langat is listening. Maybe if we get a window of changing the Constitution, we can change Article 237---"
