    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we seem to be so eager to pass very good progressive laws so to speak, but I can see here the amount of inconvenience this particular amendment is going to bring to the education sector. One, it is practically impossible to tell me that a parent can have a child without proof of age. How? There is the immunisation card, the birth notification and even a statement by the hospital where the child was born. I say so because the county governments and the national Government are supposed to keep a record of all children in school for purposes of capitation, financial support and ensuring that the curriculum is followed. If a child has got no proof of age, how do we even know that that child deserves to be in ECD or not to avoid cases of overage children in ECDs that are really going to inconvenience and disorganise the learning system? Probably this is something that the Chair needs to relook at."
