    "content": "Hon. Osoro, when a woman or girl has her menstrual period, it is the same as opening a tap and water flowing out. You can imagine a girl in school without pads, and blood is flowing like a tap. Firstly, seven packs are not enough. Secondly, when the Ministry of Education tells us that they have provided them in schools and we say it has not been done, it tells us that the teachers are hoarding them. We want to know. I hope that you can rule that the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage come to Parliament to respond to us directly on what they are telling us because it is inaccurate and unfair to our girls. We have situations where bodaboda riders convince our girls that if they carry and touch them, they will buy them pads, which is unfortunate. The Women Representatives who are here and were in the previous Parliament have said that they were able to supply those pads systematically and efficiently. I do not understand why it is so hard to get this back to them to distribute the pads so that even for us who are aspiring Women Representatives can also ensure that our girls have them. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we should have the two cabinet secretaries here to answer us directly and tell us what is happening. This is unpleasant, unhygienic, unfair and inhuman to the girls. I submit."
