    "content": "are rehabilitated. This will ensure that our people produce adequate food. Because of climate change, the rainfall is no longer dependable. That is why I support this Motion. On the issue of food, we can talk about food production, but without addressing the question of whether our primary and junior secondary school students are fed, we will be missing the point. Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya stipulates clearly that every child in this country has a right to quality education. When I look at Sub-Article (c) of the same Article of the Constitution, it stipulates that every child is entitled to quality nutrition. Therefore, the issue of food does not only talk about food for adults. We need to see how the Motion which passed before this Parliament, that every child in primary and junior secondary school, even as we provide them with learning materials, books, desks and good classes... Matters of nutrition are constitutional. Therefore, as we plan to grow green plants, we must make sure that there is enough food. Feeding our children at that level is very critical. That is the only way we can breathe life into Articles 53 and 27 of the Constitution."
