    "content": " Okay, I withdraw. However, the reason is that on 3rd May 2023, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Mr Machogu, was here talking to County Woman Representatives about the sanitary pads issue. On 3rd October 2023, we were told we would be given a response on when the money would be disbursed. The allocation for sanitary pads, which is very paramount to our girls, is less than Ksh1 billion. We are talking of less than Ksh1 billion! This is the second month our girls are in school without the allocation. It is like they are not having their periods and that is why we cannot receive those essential things. A period is a cycle that occurs every month or more depending on factors like weather changes. When one eats well, the cycle can occur three times a month except during pregnancy, which we do not encourage our young girls to get at this particular time. We have not been given any answers and yet, we are told that Parliament is a hallowed House. What are we? Today is Valentine’s Day. Where are the women in this House? Most of us are wearing black because of femicide. I do not see why we are substituting to conform to parliamentary language. It is what it looks like."
