    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree with the concerns of Hon. Members that, indeed, we require enough funding and better structure of distribution of sanitary pads so that they can get to our girls. There is a discussion, and the 47 Women Representatives are aware that I am to transfer this function. The Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Departmental Committee on Education were to decide whether those monies will be given to the Women Representatives or the Ministry of Public Service and Gender. That is the responsibility of the two Committees of this House. We agreed that the two Committees will be able to make that decision. We will move ahead with whatever decision they make. We hope that it will be the best one if our girls are provided with sanitary towels. On CBC, I was in Kilifi and the Member of Parliament is aware. I have been to Kilifi County three times, and I invite her to join us when we visit there. Last time, I was in St. Thomas Girls, and I am sure the Member is aware. I even had a meeting with the local leaders when I was in Kilifi and Pwani University. Kindly come over as we engage our people and talk to the parents and teachers concerning CBC. You can get the kind of information they have concerning CBC. Teachers want to continue with this, but they require some capacity building that we can do as a Government. Thank you."
