    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Kitui South Constituency, which has Mutomo and Ikutha districts, is arid and that all the primary and secondary schools are affected by the current famine. (b) Kitui South Constituency is classified as semi-arid in comparison to the rest of the country. Ikutha, Mutomo and Ikanga divisions were part of the larger Kitui South when the homegrown School Feeding Programme was initiated. However, later, the World Food Programme (WFP) which was supporting us withdrew its funding from the regular School Feeding Programme. Based on the resources available, the District Education Board (DEB) identified only the neediest schools in the district for the homegrown School Feeding Programme. The DEB identified the schools based on the food security status, poverty index and net enrolment. (c) It is not possible to include all the primary schools in the homegrown School Feeding Programme with the current level of funding. However, the Ministry has considered another 41 schools in Kitui South Constituency under the expanded School Feeding Programme. This is an emergency measure as a result of the current drought. This includes 50 schools from Ikutha, 54 schools from Mutomo and 37 schools from Ikanga. That is the situation now."
