There are children we pay bursaries for right from birth to primary school. I know we want to fast-track this Bill and avoid the counties, but I do not think it will be possible to entirely do so. The Council has been mandated to liaise with the national Government and it is responsible for Early Childhood Development (ECD). How then do we rope ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: On the issue of special schools, even if we want to streamline issues and ensure that special children interact with the able-bodied ones in schools, we cannot run away from having special schools.

• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Petition.
