KJ - school feeding possible

I remember going to Dagoretti South in early 2000s - this was initiative supported by UN initially - with one NGO in Waithaka - Feed the Children- and it now appear CDF has made it mainstream.

This kind of reforms we need.

Remove expensive boarding - provide lunch for all kids.

I think Ghana does this.

The only problem with day school in kenya - Kids have to go home for lunch - that is disruptive - both for learner and parent - and some parents dont even have lunch prepared.

If capitation per kid is 15 shs per meal in 200 days per year that comes to 3000shs per kid per annum. There are 10 million kids. That work out to 30B kshs. SMALL change in 3 trillion kshs budget.

And this will tremendously improve education outcomes...while sorting out half nutritional needs of poor kids.

John Kiarie: School feeding is actually practically possible in any constituency in this country. And I said that being a MP from the only constituency in the Republic that has a comprehensive school feeding programme. We have dismantled food cartels in the constituency pic.twitter.com/8Ky0d2uiRO

I support you on this, schoold feeding program must be reintroduced , through CDF .

Without that school feeding program by Moi ,the likes of Ahmednasir and lenolkulal will be hearding camels in the valleys of the North.

I remember my days hearding cows around Rumuruti the githeri attracted me to school, without the school feeding my father would never have allowed me to go to dol dol for schooling.

Yes - the same is true for even non arid places - there are pockets of poverty all over the country.
Ruto should work with CDF to make this happen.
CDF once they finished building school infrastructure - have nothing to do with money.
Instead of buying useless buses - let them buy Githeri for these kids
