    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill on the Floor touching on early childhood education. I support the Member who has just spoken about education. Education cannot be dissected. We cannot dissect a portion of education to be in the county governments and another under the national Government since the standards will be compromised. As it is, standards of early childhood education are compromised. Some of the teachers are employed by the county governments and others by the parents. So, their level of education is not in tandem with that of primary and secondary school teachers. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) handles the entire sector of secondary and primary schools. The same thing should apply to early childhood education. As it is, some of the structures in ECD centres are in pathetic state in the counties. Children in ECD centres are very young. When you look at the structures that are being constructed, some of them are dilapidated yet we are talking about children. It is sometimes very cold during the day and the children sit in classrooms full of holes all over the walls. Their health is compromised. The budgetary allocation to early childhood education is not given in a fair way. Many counties overlook early childhood education. They suffer as a result of this. There are no structures in the countryside. Some money is allocated unfairly. So, I do not support the dissection of education. Let it be run by one centre, namely, the national Government, and not the county governments. I support."
