"content": "I agree that there should be coordination with the National Drought Management Authority (NDMG) to address the drought situation in the county and subsidizing of agricultural products. We had the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education yesterday in the Senate Standing Committee on Education. We were having a serious discussion about the school feeding programme. There are counties that have not yet received food for schools yet they are in serious need. Madam Speaker--- Sorry, nowadays I am glad that there are several Madam Speakers. I am seeing my Secretary General (SG) here, sometimes she is also the Chairperson. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, due to the climate change, schools can be used as units and demonstration centres. Several Ministries for example, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Water and Ministry of environment can come into partnership. The Ministry of water will provide water in the schools and do water storage and harvesting. The Ministry of Environment will bring the seedlings and let the schools plant trees and provide nurseries for distribution of seedlings to the community. Let schools be demonstration centres of the crops that work in certain areas. I am sure that a lot of things can be done. We can address the issue of climate change using schools as demonstration centres. We expect these Ministries to work in partnership the to bring synergy so that we address the issues of climate change and food security. I support."
