Inside Governor Johnson Sakaja’s Sh5 lunch for Nairobi school children
President William Ruto, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and Nairobi Women Representative Esther Passaris during the Launch of Nairobi County School Feeding Programme at Roysambu Primary School on June 20, 2023.
The Nairobi County school feeding programme will cost parents Sh5 every day for their children’s lunch. This means that for a 13-week school term, parents will pay Sh325 for the meals under the ‘Dishi na County’ programme.
Nairobi has gone ahead of other counties to claim a share of the Sh4.9 billion budget set aside for the feeding programme across the country. The county government and the Ministry of Education have signed a memorandum of understanding that obligates the two to contribute equally to the programme for all learners in public pre-primary, primary and junior secondary schools in the devolved unit.
