PREMIUM Policy questions persist as Sakaja’s Dishi na County hits 85 million meals Programme serves more than 324,000 learners in Nairobi, but its long-term future hangs in the balance. Nairobi Just now Listen

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja’s flagship feeding programme, “Dishi na County”, has grown to serve more than 324,000 learners every school day, but its long-term future still hinges on a policy framework that is yet to be approved.

The Public Finance Management (Nairobi City County School Feeding Programme Fund) Regulations, 2025, which seek to provide a policy framework to ensure its continuity, are yet to be passed by the Nairobi County Assembly.

Mr Sakaja said the machine was another commitment fulfilled by his administration as the county seeks to make the programme more attractive to learners while maintaining its ability to serve hundreds of thousands of children every school day.
