    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the current hunger crisis that we have had in parts of Kenya, we have seen efforts being made to get the food to some areas. In some areas, the challenge has been distribution. We have seen many trucks breaking down on the way and, from where we stand, distribution is the main challenge in this programme. We have not seen the Government reaching those far off places with these facilities for the girl child. Many NGOs have been involved in this kind of work, but it is not enough to leave this work to the NGOs. In seconding this Motion, I want to emphasize that the Government needs to do more. In this new era of counties, there are specific counties, particularly in parts of the Coast Province and the northern part of the nation, where our girls are badly affected. I would urge the Government to take this seriously. I am aware that the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation has been involved, but we will be able to deal with this issue properly if we are dealing with the actual students in schools. We know that the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation goes up to the dispensaries, but this problem is with the girls in our schools. We want the function and this whole programme to be co-ordinated by the Ministry of Education because that is where the tyre meets the road. It is not like sickness and it needs to be even inculcated in the school programming, so that the teachers plan and take care of these things in good time. I pray that this House will support this Motion. I second the Motion."
