    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fourth point is on the issue of the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC). I know there is still a big challenge but the junior secondary schools need support. We saw the national Government trying to allocate more. It goes also in line with the school feeding programme. We are being told that in this country over 2.5 million Kenyans are facing starvation. I know there are rains, but the point that we need to drive home is that we need to ensure that children are kept in school, especially in the regions that are facing challenges. As a country, we are not serious. When you come to the North Rift, we are throwing away maize because of the poor pricing that we are facing. It is shocking that a few kilometers away from Bungoma where Sen. Wetangula represents, and where you also come from, maize is ready and the prices are poor. However, somewhere in Moyale in Nothern Kenya, a Kenyan is dying because of hunger. It is embarrassing and shame for the country. We need to put in place policies that will ensure that our children are kept in school, have school-feeding programmes and increase the funding that we have."
