    "content": "One of the biggest dangers that we have had with sanitary towels is by moving the budget from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage. It is a fact that when they go to procure, they end up with procurement challenges. Once they go into procurement challenges, our girl-child are denied sanitary towels. So, I would like us to go back to the drawing board. County Woman Representatives and women leaders should come together to make good decisions on sanitary towels. Girls cannot wait any longer. We are almost at the end of the academic year and yet, girls have not received sanitary towels. On the water issue, I appeal to all single-constituency Members to ensure that they provide adequate water. The Members have the mandate on NG-CDF to ensure that schools have enough toilets and water for the girl-child. Without water, disposable mechanisms, and adequate toilets for the girl-child, we deny them a dignified way of dealing with menstruation. We should all unite to ensure that the girl-child is provided with sanitary towels not just in public schools, but also in community-based and faith-based schools and even for street families. As a country, we need to make sure that we forge ahead. We are celebrated for coming up with zero-rating on sanitary towels and providing the same to our schools. It is such a shame that since 2018, we do not have a transparent mechanism for distribution of sanitary towels. We have not clearly seen any distribution of sanitary towels in schools."
