Muthoni Ouko has been accused in the recent past of putting up a vicious fight against the ongoing Dishi na County school feeding program that was last year rolled out by the Nairobi City County Government.
Edward Githaiga, who is a single father as well, and the Lobby group chairperson Hadijja Muhia, have jointly and s supported Dishi Na County, questioning the interests of Muthoni Ouko in fighting the school feeding program.
The team went further to warn Muthoni to keep of matters that support and help Children as the ongoing Dishi na County has vehemently helped in filling the gap of food security among children who come from poor background. 


“We support Dishi Na County as single mothers because it is we the mothers who benefit when our children get lunch in school. The economy is biting and anybody fighting the Dishi Na County program is an enemy of our children,” Hadijja said.
The team demanded to know Mrs Muthoni's interest in the Dishi na County group has it has supported the young generation and has allowed parent to pay only a fee of five shillings .


“Muthoni resigned in 2019 and when she was re appointed by Kananu, she was nat vetted by the assembly meaning that she was drawing salaries irregularly and should be made to refund the money back to public coffers,” Hadijja added.
Muthoni, during her stint as CEC for education, jointly with her brother established several county schools to which, she awarded her company the tender to supply food the the learners.



With the roll out of Dishi Na County, a program that offers lunch to over 200,000 primary school and ECDE learners, her business has been dealt a huge blow as the food supply is now a prerogative of the county government and pupils are only supposed to pay a small fee of Five shillings per day a enjoy a nutritious hot meal whereas her shadowy feeding program saw parents cough between 50-100 shillings per day for their children’s lunch.



“We cannot tolerate corruption and misconduct in our government institutions, especially when it affects the most vulnerable members of our society. Muthoni Ouko’s actions betray the trust of the people of Nairobi and jeopardize the future of our children,” Hadijja added.
The single mothers lobby group called for thorough investigations into these allegations and urged the relevant authorities to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
