• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: When you go to Clause 5, every child has the right to free and compulsory early childhood education in a public education center. It has been specific because, with the inception of 2003 Free Primary Education (FPE), early childhood should be in a public education center. There is a perception in this county that any public institution is full of inefficiency, lethargy and moribund. As county governments take over this role, the public ECD centers---. I hope the mover of this Motion, Sen. (Dr.) Langat, will ensure that they follow up on the quality education that they offer at public ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: On the issue of discrimination, no one should be discriminated under the Bill of Rights. I agree with my very good, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, that we should not discriminate children living with disabilities, which is very key. I agree there should be a raft of amendments to ensure that we provide a disability friendly environment for them. I have read through the Bill and there is nowhere we have in ECD centers provided that it should be disability friendly under the Disability Act. This will help children with disabilities or are challenged can access those ECD centers. Even as our ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe to run through, the right to early childhood education, the county government shall---. I hope the county respects, promotes, monitors, supervises and refrains from actions that undermine access to early childhood education. I hope they will ensure that the early childhood centers are children friendly, meet the standards of curriculum and the standards of public health which are provided through maybe other bodies that are relevant in the running of education sector through the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Ministry of Education at the national level and the Ministry of Education at the county level. The ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Clause 6 provides that each county government shall, in promoting the right to early childhood education, provide for free and compulsory early childhood education in public education centers within the county. The county governments across the 47 counties should ensure that they construct early childhood development (ECD) centers within the reach of many children. We should not have children travelling for long distances to get education. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: The county governments shall also formulate programmes and plans, and implement policies for the realization of the right to early childhood education. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Sen. Kang’ata said earlier that he is a good ‘boy’ today. I do not know what has changed again because he looks like he is going back to his former self. I hope he is just working as the Deputy Majority Whip. Since I have not gotten the full understanding, my concern is that we need a standardized--- view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you kindly protect me? view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in that spirit, I hope that you will add me a few more minutes. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: I will proceed with your guidance, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I have said, early childhood education centres are key. Clause 6 goes further to say that county governments shall provide development of education centers for administration of childhood education within the counties. It also deals with issues provided for under the bill of rights, including marginalization and public awareness. The Bill also deals with the duty of parents and guardians, which I have elaborated. There is the thorny issue of hiring of early childhood education teachers. There is a tussle between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and county governments. ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: operating near bars, where people drink and are merry-make. You will find a bar on the first floor of a building and an early childhood education centre on the second floor. Finally, on the punitive measures, I think the drafter is too lenient. We only have suspension and cancellation. I would propose that anybody who violates this Act should, apart from cancellation and suspension, be imprisoned. In the interest of time and the fact that most of my colleagues would want to give their Solomonic wisdom on this agenda, I beg to support. When the time comes, we will assist ... view
