    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. One of my favourite books is Good Girls Never Get the Corner Office . This is in response to what you told me earlier in the morning when you urged me to be a good example to the girls – the younger ones who are doing their first term. If they are good girls, they will never get corner offices. Be as bad as Hon. Millie Odhiambo, and you will be the mother of this House. I am a bad girl and as one, I am here serving my fourth term. So, do not be cheated like in the African culture where you are told to have decorum, dress nicely, and be kind and nice. You will go nowhere. Be a bad girl like me and you will get somewhere. I wish to declare my interests under Standing Order 90, which Hon. Wamuchomba stood on, because I do not want to be declared disorderly. When you have a pecuniary or personal interest, you declare it. I want to declare my interest as a former user of sanitary towels and as a dynasty. Also, as a former user of diapers and as a future user of diapers. As a woman, once you get menopausal, you will have leaks and you will use diapers. I want to say it is not all women. So, Hon. Rozaah should not be worried, but some women get leaks. We do not want to have shame over menopausal issues or periods. I am saying this because I have been sitting here today listening patiently to the men talking about sanitary towels which are in the Finance Bill, and were doing so with authority. If we wanted to save money the way the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has done and want to tax anything else, go and tax men's innerwear. Do not speak on our issues as women. Let us be the ones to speak about sanitary towels. We are the ones who know what it is for us. You are saying you want to encourage local manufacturing.
