It is a matter of serious national concern and all other matters listed there are important. I am a bit concerned that our children in all public schools; not just in Kitui, are suffering under the weight of the current drought. It is a Motion that I brought almost a month ago. I would say that perhaps I am to blame for this because there are days that I have not been here. However, I have been responsible enough because every time I was not in the House - and this you can confirm - I have written to your office and said that I would not be in and given the reasons. That matter of school feeding programmes in schools at a time like this is a matter that I thought that the SBC might prioritize, so that we discuss it and see what remedies we can give to our children in all public schools in this country. I know that children in Laikipia, Kitui, Nandi and Kericho are starving. If you can just give priority to this, I will appreciate it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir."}
