In 2018, President Bio promised to “Expand and improve school feeding programmes in all pre-schools and primary schools.” Three years later we are examining this promise. Accomplishments There are several important accomplishments in school feeding since 2018. For example, the national budget included a dedicated line to school feeding, totalling 70 billion Leones for 2020 and 71 billion Leones for 2021.

His move revealed how he perceives issues and his approaches to them. Again, I would not hesitate to say that I was personally impressed because he made me understand him better and be able to evaluate the kind of leader we have as a country. Notwithstanding, however, this piece of writing would attempt to diagnose the President’s utterances, especially on Radio Democracy 98.1. ....
