  • 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: implemented because when you look at Article 10 of the Constitution on national values and principles of good governance, it is very critical in implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies. I know parents and guardians will have an opportunity to do that. view
  • 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 4(c) speaks on the holistic approach towards meeting education and other development needs. I think Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and most Senators have canvassed that our children need to grow up in a less toxic environment. When we say holistic, it means that apart from ensuring that they develop mentally, they should also develop in terms of capacity of understanding, knowledge and ability. That is what this Bill is trying to bring out. Where I come from, we used to wonder why my brothers from the region Sen. M. Kajwang’ represents were brilliant than all of ... view
  • 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: The recognition of parents and family of the child as the primary caregivers is important. It is so sad in this country when you walk around, you will find children that have been abandoned, and are doing child enslavement. Yours truly will be part of the process on enactment with my Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, on the issue of servitude or modern slavery. You find the biggest victims of modern slavery are young children. It means that the primary caregivers; that is, the parents and guardians, have abandoned their responsibility. The school holidays are on now, ... view
  • 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: When we were growing up, where I come from in my small village called Kapkeben in Mosoriot, Nandi County, if you messed up while herding cattle, anybody could beat you up. This meant that it was a communal issue and role to ensure that children grow up as mature, disciplined and responsible persons. If we, as parents and guardians could take care of our roles as parents, we could have less of early childhood pregnancies. If you visit our prisons, you will find juveniles who have been convicted because of crime. We need them to be more responsible citizens. In ... view
  • 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: I agree that the recognition of parents is very key in ensuring that interventions are based on objective information and methods that monitoring mechanisms and regular evaluations are established, thus ensuring transparency in public management, social ethics and taking into account the needs of the population. Social audit is a very key word there even in issues of learning. Apart from the audit that we normally do in the traditional way, social audit is key. We have had instances where parents complain that money has not been properly utilized in these ECDs. view
  • 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
