• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Bill presented by Sen. Kwamboka. I congratulate her for coming up with the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill, 2020. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: The objective of this Bill is within the boundary of school feeding programme, which has tremendous impact across the world. The Bill comes at a time when the Government has reduced funding for the school feeding programme to Kshs500 million. It also comes at a time when the famous donor, World Food Programme (WFP), has suspended the school feeding programme. I appeal that we support this Bill because since the exit of WFP will cripple the programme and school enrolment will be affected. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: The school feeding programme goes beyond the plate of food on our tables. We need to realise that by supporting this Bill and introducing milk in our schools, we will not only increase enrolment of children to schools but also increase the literacy levels on gender basis. We will also benefit in terms of equity of health nutrition. Passing this Bill will also improve the local economies for famers around the schools. view

• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, these statistics should help our Government to see the importance of investing in the school feeding programme. This way, we will retain children in school and even increase transition to secondary and tertiary institutions. This programme will not only benefit the Government but also the farmers who invest in this sector. We will even see an improvement in the local economies. This is bound to accelerate county-led demand in job opportunities and capacity building in the area of research. view
