    "content": "A mistake was made when we were making the Constitution. We said that primary and secondary school education and university education should be managed and handled by the national Government and the ECD education by the county governments. There is no way a county, say, in south eastern Kenya, will allocate the same amount of funding to the ECD education as a county in North Eastern and yet we are supposed to have equal education for all the students regardless of where they are! So, I highly recommend that we amend this. I hope we will make amendments successfully, so that we can move the ECD education back to the national Government. Most ECD education instructors or teachers are not paid appropriately. They are underpaid. The people who end up applying for the ECD education teaching jobs, in most cases, do not have the necessary qualifications or experience to teach the children. Teaching children during their formative age is a huge challenge because that is the time you are supposed to teach them how to write from A to Z and form their education foundation for the rest of their lives. As a country, we, in most cases, create a foundation to construct a two storey building and yet we end up putting up a 12 storey building on it. So, that is definitely inappropriate."
