Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. The Bill is very important in terms of how counties run and engage their staff. Perhaps, this Bill is even coming late. It should have been there when counties were being established because what we have noticed so far is that, the manner in which appointments have been done, perhaps, is not what we would have wished if this Bill was there.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The number of Petitions being brought to the Senate does, indeed, demonstrate that the public has a lot of confidence in the Senate.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this important Bill. I wish to thank the Committee for bringing a Bill on Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) and coming up with good proposals that are in the Bill. The Fourth Schedule to the Constitution has devolved ECDE to the counties. I believe that was very proper because previously, it appeared like there was nobody responsible for ECDE. There was no document or law that placed ECDE on any institution in the Government. What we have previously seen is a haphazard establishment of these centres with varied curriculum, no uniformity and ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the concerns about the media, I think the way we are going is like making a report and yet this House is waiting for the same. Other than raising concerns in the media, the merits and demerits should be given to us formerly in a report.
