Kenya: State to Spend Sh1.4 Billion On New School Milk Plan

The government has set aside Sh1.4 billion to roll out the relaunched school milk feeding programme. The programme has already been initiated on a pilot basis in Uasin Gishu and Nakuru counties where 18 rural primary schools will be the first to benefit. It will then be rolled out to nine other counties before being expanded to primary schools countrywide.

Minister for Livestock Muhammed Kuti said the school feeding programme will help the government boost enrollment in schools and improve the health of children. "We intend to strengthen the programme and ensure it covers most parts of the country within the shortest time possible", said Kuti in a speech during the launch at Sugoi Primary School in Eldoret North.
