President Ruto promises to buy a chapati-making machine to make 1 million chapatis in a day to boost Governor Sakaja’s Dishi na County school feeding programme.
The President announced an ambitious plan to bolster Nairobi County’s school feeding programme by pledging to acquire a chapati-making machine with the capacity to produce one million chapatis per day.
The statement came during his ongoing tour of Nairobi, where he addressed a group of schoolchildren on Tuesday.
Speaking directly to the students, President Ruto emphasized the government’s commitment to improving nutrition and supporting education across the region.
“We want every child in Nairobi to have access to a good meal so they can focus on learning and building their future,” he said.
The proposed machine, he added, would streamline the production of chapatis—a popular staple in Kenyan cuisine—and ensure a consistent supply for schools throughout the county.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance food security and alleviate the burden on families struggling to provide meals for their children.
While no specific timeline for the procurement was provided, the President’s pledge has sparked optimism among local leaders and educators, who see it as a step toward addressing hunger in schools.
The announcement has already generated buzz among Nairobi residents, with many awaiting more information on how this innovative promise will be brought to fruition.
