"content": " Hon. Speaker, I am not satisfied with the response. I find it underwhelming for three reasons. Firstly, the Chairperson has said that we only have five laparoscopic gynaecological surgeons. Yet, this procedure is extremely expensive. It costs between Ksh350,000 and Ksh1 million. A high number of young women suffer from this disease, and the Ministry of Health can do much more. Secondly, he told us that the Ministry is working on training and sensitising with no timelines. This could be in two or three years from now. When do they want to begin the sensitisation process? The young women are really suffering from stigmatisation. We need specific information in terms of when sensitisation will begin. Finally, is the fact that we only have two public facilities that offer treatment for this disease in the whole country. Yet, we have many other private facilities that provide treatment at a very expensive rate. As I said earlier, young girls between the ages of 15 and 24 suffer the most from this disease. The Ministry should do more than what they have stated. Therefore, I feel this is not enough. Thank you."
