    "content": "for lunch, the best thing you can do to the child is not give them lunch, but let them learn. When you send this student or pupil home, he is going to miss two things, one that has been paid for by the Government, which is tuition, and second, that lunch you are talking about. Somehow we can get this to percolate. You find in the morning children with same uniform, there are those going to school and there are those going home. They keep passing one another on the way. If the FPE funds were being used prudently, I think most of these little things like lunch would be catered for within that. Finally, I will not feel well if I cannot commend the CS for Education for the reforms that he has put in place. His resolve to streamline the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology many have been there and many have failed. I will commend Dr. Fred Matiang’i for what he has done so far. And I will ask him, the same way he has streamlined examination issues---It is Fred Matiang’i; it is not the Jubilee Government. We have to differentiate between the two because there was a CS for Education, Science and Technology in the Jubilee Government who did not do what he has done. We will commend him as an individual. Even the President of the Republic of Kenya can learn something from Dr. Fred Matiang’i. Instead of saying there is nothing he can do about corruption, Dr. Fred Matiang’i has been able to streamline or is in the process of streamlining education, and he could borrow a leaf from him. Because of the exemplary work he has done and with your indulgence, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will just give a Swahili saying. I know I am contributing in English, but I am asking for your indulgence. Swahili people say: Tenda mema nendazako . It is not easy to translate into English because it loses its meaning. Because of that, there is a student in my constituency who, when she was sitting for her exams recently went into labour and gave birth to twin boys. The first one was named Fred Matiang’I and the second one was named Enoch Kibunguchy. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
