Garissa woman representative Udgoon Siyad Kuno has donated assorted foodstuffs to six schools in the region to supplement the feeding program in the area.

She said this was in line with calls for such actions during the month of Ramadhan.

During her visits, Udgoon reiterated her resolve to complement the realization of quality, equitable and accessible education for all children as enshrined in the constitution.

She also held a constructive meeting with the schools' management in an effort to identify the main challenges, gaps and opportunities.

Among the schools she visited include Sankuri Girls, Garissa High School, Saka Girls, Madogashe Girls, Fafi Girls, Yusuf Haji Girls and Dertu Girls.

She also distributed food to orphanages and to people with disabilities.

Udgoon was elected on a Jubilee ticket. She has since expressed interest in being elected the Deputy Minority Whip of the National Assembly by Azimio.

This is after Sabina Chege was de-whipped during the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party Parliamentary Group meeting that was held in Machakos.

“I am equal to the task and I promise to deliver if I am given the opportunity to serve,” she said.

Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party did not immediately replace Sabina Chege in the highly-contested position Sabina's demotion came just hours after Azimio leader Raila Odinga recommended a change in the law in order to discipline rebellious leaders.

KANU suggested that Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda should replace Sabina.
