    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. First and foremost, I want to be very clear. I am being asked to give a particular item, but a sanitary pad is a sanitary pad. We will get to the details of the items which are used to make sanitary pads on Clause 27. They are clearly written. If we drop this amendment right now, we will be cornered at Clause 27 and we will not get the exemption we are looking for. It is sad for girls who cannot speak in this House to find men who want to oppose exemption of their sanitary pads and they want to tax them. We must be firm on this because the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology allocates Kshs400 million to buy sanitary pads for school girls in this country. If we do this we are going to reduce the cost of sanitary pads and make sure that the Ministry buys double the number of sanitary pads they are buying. What are we doing in this House when we oppose something which is clear? I want to oppose the dropping of item No. 10. The items have been clearly listed under Clause 27."
