    "content": "General for Health or a representative. While we were looking at the mandate of this committee, it was clear that these three particular seats were well represented in terms of those who are above there. There has been a lot of pushback in terms of the committee because there was no clarity on committee members who are going to sit in this particular committee. When you look at Clause 5(1)(l), I have proposed that we should have three persons not from public offices. One shall be nominated by the Council of Governors (CoG), another one shall be nominated by a public benefit organisation concerned with matters related to gender, and another one shall be nominated by the umbrella body representing the largest number of organisations in the private sector. Why did I come to this conclusion? I have been a champion of menstrual hygiene since 2007. It is only during the past three years that perhaps my work has come to the limelight due to the position that I hold as a Senator in the Senate of Kenya, which is the “Upper House”. I would like to say that there have been many other champions who have gone down to the grassroots and done the heavy lifting for more than 10 years, if not longer. They have carried that mantle to ensure that the fight to end period poverty does not die."
