    "content": "Mr N. Gichohi and Mr Kevin Mutueni. We have 170 girls that have accompanied the teachers from the History Class. The school was founded in 1964 and so this year, we both share a birthday for turning 60 years old. The school was founded by the Sisters of Mercy to help the needy children and it currently accommodates 1,400 students and their performance is very good. I also want to acknowledge that the school is in Makadara Constituency where Hon. George Aladwa is the area MP, and I thank you for giving me this opportunity to welcome the girls. I want to assure them that as a Parliament, we are fighting to ensure that we provide sanitary towels not just for primary schools, but also for secondary schools. It is all a question of budgeting and it is also a question of the Finance Bill providing enough money for sanitary towels. So, your Government is working and your Parliament is working tirelessly to ensure that we give you an enabling environment. What we ask from all of you, especially my young girls, is to focus on your education. We need to see a drop or a complete elimination or zero tolerance to teenage pregnancies. I met you outside and I told you that no one ever remembers their childhood sweetheart. I do not even remember the boy who ‘tuned’ me in secondary school and what his name was, and I have no idea where he is. So, focus on your studies and do well. The time for boys will come in the future. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
