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---

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. ...

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 ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. George Khaniri who is a senior member of this House. He is also my very good neighbor because we share a common border. I am happy that I am contributing to this Bill. I thank him for bringing such a Bill. From where I sit, this is a very important Bill. My colleagues have espoused that it is timely. These are legislations that we are bringing into place to try to buttress, flesh and oil the wheels of devolution of in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I suffered the ...

Yes, I can, Madam Temporary Speaker. I meant my eyes and hands. My hands and legs can now work very well. There was a Senator in this House, Sen. Shiyonga, who talked about ‘scooping;’ so, the use of such areas is very important because if they would have been attacked, then I would not have had an opportunity of exposing what God gave us in Genesis 1:28, when he told us:- “God blessed them and said to them, be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds ...

We will not go into details because the children are watching. This is a parental guidance issue. It is not good to say such things on the Floor of the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have looked at the functions under Clause 6 which ensure compliance of all county laws. There are many laws that our county governments pass. Sometimes, it is challenging to always pass them. I agree with most of my colleagues that some of these issues have exposed the excitement of titles by governors. Huge resources and good intentions of having enforcement officers can sometimes mutate. Some ...
