    "content": "I wanted to talk about pre-registration in Clause 13, but I have seen it there. We have done a very good thing in registration. I wish we can also provide it in primary schools because currently, there are primary and secondary schools in my constituency that have been trying to be registered for more than a year. We need timelines, so that we do not register in perpetuity. We should not be too punitive when it comes to registration because most of the areas where we come from, you find that people start studying under trees because that is what they can afford and then they grow. Our counties are taking too long to build the centres. We should not punish children because of that. I know one area called Miyal where I built one class, but the little children had to walk for four kilometres to the nearest school. The parents wait until the children are older. There is one island where I built the first ECD class. It is not easy. I built it as a primary school class, but they use it as ECD class because they have to use a boat to the mainland. If we put these stringent guidelines in such a case, they may be excluded."
