    "content": "The Government is implementing the concept of free secondary school education, where it is advocating for 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary schools. However, this statistic may only be talking about those who are already in school. Some families are unable to send their children to school due to lack of food and they are hungry and weak. Therefore, all the children of Kenya will not benefit from the so called free basic education. Therefore, in my view, we should ensure that every child born in Kenya, whether by design or coincidence, goes to school. That can only be done if we avail food in schools. Food, to me is all about health and nutrition. I recommend that even as we think about feeding children in primary schools, we should also be aware of the fact that quite a number of them were born HIV positive. Therefore, I recommend that we should think about feeding the children with healthy foods like probiotic yogurt and other fermented foods that can boost their immune system so they can go to school when they are healthy and well. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
