Soon, school-going children will enjoy free lunch from the government after Parliament ordered the Ministry of Education to institute the essential statutory approaches to accelerate the program’s implementation.

The project, which was the brainchild of Nairobi senator, Johnson Sakaja and President William Ruto, was tabled in Parliament by ODM’s Kakamega woman representative, Elsie Muhanda.

According to the Order Paper dated Thursday, October 13, the Members of Parliament pushed to have the programme enrolled across all basic education levels.

This House, therefore, resolves that the Ministry of Education, through the relevant State Department, immediately develops a school feeding policy to cover basic education pupils and sustain the program in order to ensure that children are maintained in schools for effective learning and to improve their well-being,” read the order paper.
