• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I want to appreciate every single contribution, including from my colleague and friend, Hon. Rono, who also took the opportunity to make his contribution to congratulate Elgeyo/ Marakwet County Assembly for not passing the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. I guess this allows me to also congratulate the Nyeri County Assembly and the other 42 county assemblies that passed the Bill. One of the things I appreciate about this particular Bill is that we, as a country, have this habit of assuming that education starts from Grade One or Standard One. We forget that there is that portion that Hon. ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The other thing that this Bill has done that is also very important is that it has put it categorically that young children have a right to free and compulsory early childhood education. We have standardised the curriculum of pre-primary education. I know that a lot of pre-primary institutions run their curriculum. They decide what they want to teach the children and some spend the whole day playing.

• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, this Bill provides a safe environment for children by ensuring that the institutions that are set up have basic safety measures, for example, firefighting equipment and teachers who are trained on first aid. This is very important because we are dealing with children who are very sensitive. view

Obara, there is quite a bit of work that went into this particular Bill. I also want to appreciate the leaders of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research because they also put in quite a bit of work into this particular Bill. I also want to appreciate your office and the office of the Clerk for technical support, leadership and guidance to ensure that we bring this Bill to a closure. As we look forward to this ... view
