    "content": "(a) It is not true that the entire Taita Taveta County has been excluded from the current Government mitigation programme on drought and famine. As a matter of fact, the county has been benefiting from relief food given by my Ministry to needy districts every month and has also been benefiting from Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation Programme run by the World Food Programme. In July 2010 to June, 2011, the Ministry allocated the county a total of 21,500 bags of maize, 1,120 bags of beans, 7,300 bags of rice and 2,050 cartons of cooking oil, all valued at Kshs113,368,250. The country further received Kshs3.6 million for transportation of food within the districts during the period as clearly indicated in the table attached, which the Member has. (b) Taita Taveta County has been benefiting from the various school feeding programmes that include the Regular School Feeding Programme, the Homegrown School Feeding Programme and the Expanded Homegrown School Feeding Programme. The Regular School Feeding Programme is run by the Ministry of Education and the WFP while the Homegrown School Feeding Programme is run exclusively by the Ministry of Education. The Expanded School Feeding Programme, also run by the Ministry of Education, was introduced to cater for increased needs due to the prevailing drought. The Ministry of Education is yet to implement the School Fees Waiver Programme in Taita Taveta County and this is the same with the rest of the counties across the country. On water, the Ministry through various constituencies, received Kshs4 million for water tracking, fuel subsidy and the maintenance of boreholes from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation."
