Elsie Muhanda","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Speaker, in winding up, you can see how this Motion has generated a lot of interest because the situation on the ground is bad. Right now, 3 million Kenyans are hungry, and 10 counties are food insufficient. I beg that we seriously take up this matter as a country. I urge the education department and all other agencies to take up the matter. I propose that the passage of this Motion should be followed by a Bill for legislation into an Act of Parliament because according to Article 53 of the Constitution, food is a basic need. A hungry child cannot go to school. I urge that we take this Motion very seriously and move with speed to develop the proposed policy. With those remarks, I beg to reply."}
