"content": "to schools. Those who are able to cook can do so in their schools. This will help children, especially those in Standard Eight, Grade Six and Form Four who are going to do their exams very soon. It will ensure they settle in class, concentrate and perform. This Motion is going to save all of us. I believe there is a framework already. The same framework the Ministry of Education is using to disburse Kshs1.6B billion is the same framework we can enhance. We can look at the regulations and ensure they are clear to guide school feeding programme in this country. The President went to Dagoretti South when he was campaigning and saw the kitchen programme. I believe it is in his interest and that of the Governor to ensure we work together in Nairobi. I plead with legislators from other counties to work together with county assemblies to ensure we feed our children. If we can ensure we retain children in school, we can then deal with the parents. For now, it is so difficult to talk to a parent who is about to sleep hungry. That is why you meet a child in a shopping centre at 9.00 or 10.00 O’clock at night. When you pick and take them to their house, you realise they were going to sleep hungry because they had nothing. It is not that people are taking advantage, but there is a big challenge in the country brought by drought and COVID-19 Pandemic. Many Kenyans are sleeping hungry. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support. Thank you and congratulations."
