In what seems to be the latest strategy in combating ethnicity in the country for an indivisible citizenry, three legislators have resorted to a common snack cooking and eating forum in schools in a bid to foster cohesion and integration among youth.
The Nakuru Chapati forum seeks to engage more than 10,000 high school students, parents and their teachers in a common dialogue that will aim at exterminating tribalism motivating participants in the cause initiate charity causes for orphans and needy elderly in children homes and homes for the elderly in the county.
Naivasha member of Parliament John Kihagi, his Nakuru West counterpart Samwel Arama and Kimani Ngunjiri (Bahati) are championing the cause to begin in May when schools resume for second term.
Kihagi said the programme to run indefinitely, targets all public schools in the county and the objective is to nurture coexistence at an early age among Kenyans while enabling them to acknowledge and appreciate diversity among them.
The Naivash MP was speaking Sunday at Jomo Kenyatta Girls' High School where he was among the members of Parliament that took time of their busy schedule to make chapatis and beef stew for students and teachers at the school.
The day-long event also saw the legislators and business people present contribute money to a kitty that supports orphans to various children homes in the county.
The MP says the programme will assist students to understand by practicing virtues to disciplined living with others in society which among them is giving to the deserving.
