    "content": "Look at Tanzania creating employment in Government. Let us not talk about only the many digital hubs that we are putting. We appreciate how the President for pursuing this, and being the Chairman of the committee in charge of ICT, I assure you this will create a lot of jobs. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at the same time, we have so many content creators on the streets. The Government failed in terms of communication because we did not communicate the agenda properly. I assure you that if we use these content creators to sell our Government agenda and services; they will get to many youth in mashinani . So, let us employ the young content creators to sell our agenda. That is also a form of creating employment. The same content creators will promote tourism and showcase the beauty of this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I have heard Sen. Karen Nyamu supporting the sanitary towels issue. Last time, in this House, I talked about this issue. They are a necessity to our young women in this country. It is very unfortunate that if you go to toilets in Government institutions, there is always a box full of free condoms that we do not need. I am saying this because those condoms are not a necessity for men. So, these sanitary towels should not be taxed and should be given for free to our girls. I know the challenges young girls go through when they cannot afford sanitary towels in my county. My county is the same as any of the 47 counties in this country. I know how many girls have dropped out of school because they cannot afford the sanitary towels. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I urge the Government to have a conversation of providing these sanitary towels for free. I thank you and support this Motion."
