    "content": "where no public primary school exists. So, it is also good for the county governments to take this seriously and provide enough land for those institutions. The Ministry concerned should work hand-in-hand with the county governments to ensure that this Bill has been implemented fully. When we pass these laws, they are not taken seriously. It is high time for the Government to be serious on this because these Bills will help us to ensure that education in the Republic of Kenya is of good quality. In some of those early childhood centres, there is no seriousness in the implementation of the laws. You will see some children undergoing corporal punishment and emotional and psychological torture which contributes to some of them taking away their lives. It is high time for the Government to be serious with teachers who do that to our small children. Serious action should be taken so that, that can be prevented in our learning institutions. The remuneration of the teachers who take care of the children should be taken care of. In our 47 counties in this Republic of Kenya, the salary which those teachers are paid is not standardised. Every county pays their teachers the way they want. It is good for the law to be set so that when those teachers are recruited, there is a framework which is set to guide the payment. Lastly, the curriculum that is being used in those early childhood education centres should be standardised. According to the Bill, every county should use the same curriculum. The curriculum should be centralised so that children who undertake learning can be equipped in a uniform manner throughout the counties. With that, I beg to support."
