    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. First of all, I congratulate you for where you are sitting. It is my prayer that it will not be the last time. It will be just but a beginning for you. I also take this opportunity to congratulate Sen. Kwamboka for this amendment Bill of Basic Education Act. I contribute by saying that many children lack enough milk. Even from a young tender age especially when a mother gives birth and the mother dies, the child is left and that child does not get enough milk. Many of them who come from very poor families, they are fed with this stuff from very tender age up to about two years. After two years, they stop getting enough milk because the parents cannot afford. Bringing this milk back to the school would be very good. Madam Temporary Speaker, also, for the concentration of the children in school, it will also help. It will also be good for the farmers when they sell the milk because they will get money. There are many people who will get jobs through the milk. I congratulate Sen. Kwamboka for this very important Bill. I concur with the rest of the Senators that the milk should be provided from the counties unless they do not have enough to supply to the schools. Otherwise it should come from there. We should also be careful, Sen. Kwamboka, and state categorically that we will not get milk that has preservatives. A lot of it also affect our children and cause more other health problems. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you and say that this is a very important Bill. I pray that it will pass and be implemented. Thank you."
