milk had been laced with many things. Everybody in the primary school destroyed the milk. That is how the nyayo school feeding programme was destroyed by the politics of the day. I took the risk and carried the usual five packets of milk home.

In my county, Makueni, majority of the students that go to schools that are in town like Wote, Kunoa, Mukuyuni, Sultan Hamud and Emali Pirmary schools are from very poor backgrounds. It surprises me that parents are sending their children to school with the hope that they will get food. It is such a sensitive issue. I am convinced that the reason we must continue involving women in leadership is because only women can think like this.

The men are thinking of how much money we can borrow to spend on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and on a very nice looking road like Mombasa Road. If you think about the money we have spent on these brick and mortar projects, the reason why Kenyans are so disgruntled and protesting at every step of the way is because the Government has moved away from its people. The Government no longer cares. What this Bill is saying to the parents of this country and to the women who take care of children and want to know what their ...

If you would add me one more minute, I am going to propose that you include a prescription of that milk. It is far much better to say---

Every child will receive 250 millilitres. The racketeers that Sen. (Dr.) Ali is talking about would like something ambiguous like this. They will cheat. Make it specific. In the nyayo school programme, we used to get 250 millilitres. Make it 250 millilitres at the least. It could be more. I am sure that if we refocused our budgets, this country is not going to suffer if we provide our children with milk. I am telling you that basic education must include food. Other than food, we must give our children good sanitation. Every time I go to primary schools in ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to be brief. When Sen. Sakaja becomes governor, we want an organized city. We want Kenyatta Avenue organized in such a way that people can come and shop at 9 p.m. We want security, that people can take a walk in Uhuru Park, or you can buy anything in the city when you cannot sleep. It is only in Nairobi where when the sun goes down, the thieves come up and you go to sleep. What sort of a city operates like that? Our hawkers should have numbers, be registered and have name tags. I ...

Hall. It had the best food in town, just like what Sen. Kasanga said about other cities in the world. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a beautiful Bill. A nation that cares and believes in its people is a nation that allows everybody to make the least that they can make. If there is a principle that I will advocate when I become governor, it is the ten dollar a day principle; just one thousand shillings. Just make sure that a person can have money in their pocket. When they have money in their pockets, they will pay whatever it ...
