    "content": "The other sector is education. We have to realise the best quality education for our children and we have made a provision for that. Unfortunately, I have just been granted a charter for a university college in Tharaka; The Tharaka University College, a constituent college of Chuka University. I have gone through the budget and found that it has not been allocated any money for development. This is to confirm that I will be urging the Departmental Committee on Education and Research that while we go to the Committee of Supply we consider allocating at least Kshs100 million to that university for purposes of development. It is vitally important that as we move towards 100 per cent transition, our universities are equally developed, equipped and enabled so that they can absorb students who qualify from the secondary schools to join universities. It is also important to note the issue of food sustainability in the country. Most of the areas in Kenya have received very little or no rainfall at all. There will, therefore, be need for relief food so that we ameliorate the problem of lack of food in most areas. My constituency is affected. My county, Kitui, Embu and others are all affected. They would need special consideration from the Ministry of Devolution so that there are sufficient food supplies in the country to serve all citizens. We must ensure that we do not close schools because children lack food. We should not record deaths, whether in Turkana, West Pokot or other places where people lack food."
