    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Ntulili and Mweromuthanga primary schools in Tigania East Constituency do not benefit from the school feeding programme, neither do the teachers receive hardship allowances from the TSC. (b) The Ministry does not discriminate against the above mentioned schools. The schools are in Meru North District which is not under the current school feeding programme. Under the current operation contract, 2004/2008, between the World Food Programme and the Government, the beneficiaries are pupils in the designated ASAL districts and some slum areas in Nairobi. The targeting is done based on the district and not the particular schools. However, the two schools are in Buuri Location which is a designated hardship area. The teachers in those schools were erroneously left out and the TSC is correcting the anomaly. (c) The Ministry has never exercised any discriminatory practices against any school in the Republic. It is the desire of the Ministry to see that deserving primary school pupils in the targeted Arid and Semi-arid Lands receive midday meals. Also note that all the teachers working in the gazetted hardship areas are receiving hardship allowance."
