    "content": "or livestock to rely on as a second backup. You are stuck. If you need anything, you must spend money. The reality of urban hunger is seen in our schools. I represent the biggest school in this country, the Olympic Primary School, which has about 4,500 children from Class One to Class Eight. That is the biggest public primary school. I would invite even the Cabinet Secretary coordinating the relief projects to just step in there, meet the teachers, the Parents Teachers Association (PTA), Board of Management (BoM) and see what the situation is for all those children coming in to school every day and the school making its best effort to provide, at least, one meal a day. The cost of buying those food supplies and the fuel to feed 4,500 children is very high. I give Olympic Primary School just as an example, but that is the case in most schools like Toi Primary School and others. Even in the non-formal schools where you know we talk about free primary education in Kenya, in places like Kibra, our children have not had access to that because the capacity was very limited. We are trying to do something by building more schools, but many of them are going to non-formal alternative schools and paying fees to attend those schools and those parents and children are suffering. School feeding programmes and serious donations to schools such as Olympic Primary School and others in Kibra Constituency will go a long way to start providing relief in that section of our most vulnerable members of society."
