    "content": "First of all, this programme is a reality because it has been in place for the last 30 years. It started in 1980 and now we are in 2010. It has been running for 30 years. Secondly, this programme is a reality because we have successfully fed 1.35 million children. Thirdly, this programme is a reality because under a separate budget by the Government, there was Kshs400 million set aside on home grown food subsidy by accessing money directly to the individual schools, so that they can buy food from the surrounding communities. They will have fresh food and this will encourage local marketing strategies; that way, local farmers will get the money. Fourthly, I have engaged the Treasury. We have had meetings with them. I have told them of the deficiency we have in the budget. We are talking of reaching out to the most vulnerable children; I consider hunger a bad situation. They should provide additional resources under the Supplementary Budget so that we can cover areas like Tetu and many other semi-arid regions that we have not been able to reach."
