The Isiolo County Assembly has passed a motion to increase the allocation of funds to Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centers in order to strengthen the sector, which falls under the county government.

According to the assembly, the move will ensure there are sufficient funds to support the school porridge feeding program, especially at a time when food prices have been rising across the country. The Education Committee was also tasked with developing a structured school feeding program for ECDE learners.

While supporting the motion, Ngaremara Ward MCA Peter Losu urged the Education Committee to table a report on the condition of ECDE classrooms, the status of the school porridge program, and the rehabilitation of the schools. He said this would help ensure the sector receives an appropriate budget allocation.

Burat Ward MCA Nicholas Lorot echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of passing a supplementary budget to guarantee adequate funds for sustaining the porridge program for ECDE learners. He noted that the initiative would ensure no child misses school due to hunger. Lorot also commended parents in Isiolo County for ensuring that all children, especially girls, have access to education.

At the same time, he called on the national government to prioritize schools in the area when distributing relief food.

On his part, Bulapesa Ward MCA David Waithaka, who chairs the Education Committee, encouraged parents to grow different types of vegetables to improve their children’s nutrition and support healthy growth.

The remarks were made during a Monday meeting in Oldonyiro Ward. During the session, a heated exchange arose between Ngaremara MCA Peter Losu and Education Committee Chair David Waithaka. Losu insisted that the committee should urgently address the poor state of some ECDE schools in various areas, while Waithaka defended the committee, stating that its budget for such activities had been withdrawn.
