The County Government of Mombasa has rolled out a feeding program for KCPE and KPSEA candidates in all primary schools.

The extensive feeding program is aimed at ensuring the candidates concentrate on their examinations without disruptions. It has received support and praise from parents and teachers.

“I want to thank the Governor; he has been at the forefront in helping Mombasa students, especially during this critical period of exams. I have been working tirelessly since morning to deliver the foods from the stores to the schools,” said Sammy Nzaro, a volunteer from Nyali Sub-County who has been involved in the distribution of the food packs.

The County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for education and digital transformation Mr. Mbwarali Kame said they plan to expand the feeding programme even after the examination epoch.

“We have successfully launched a feeding program in all public schools and special schools across Mombasa. In addition, we plan to establish three more kitchens in Nyali, Changamwe, Kisauni, and Likoni,” said Dr Kame.

The CECM visited the soul harvest area in Nyali where he lauded the governor for his unwavering commitment to the feeding program, noting that he had initiated it even during his stint as a Member of Parliament for Mvita constituency.

On his part, the deputy head teacher of Mombasa Primary School Mr. Mbogo William, expressed his gratitude, saying, “We thank the county government for the food, and it will certainly help our candidates in their examinations.”
