    "content": "(ii) such monies as may accrue to or vest in the committee in the course of the exercise of its power or the performance of its function under this Act. (iii) all monies from any other source provided for donations or lent to the committee.” This will also give us reprieve. Some of us champions who are out in the field trying to convince donors to come and help in the initiatives that we have, will now have a proper channel, a proper framework at the county level to be able to say, we are working with the county committee that deals with provision of free sanitary towels. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have had many international Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) come to my office. They tell me that they are looking for ways to fund the Government of Kenya to the tune of billions, money that is particularly ring- fenced for provision of free sanitary towels. However, their biggest problem and challenge has been that they are not sure if we put it in the Ministry of Gender or Education or Health, it will go down to buying sanitary towels. They always say that we lack a framework. They always say that we lack monitoring and evaluation. They always say that we lack that goodwill from Government for us to be able to say that we will put in Kshs10 billion or whatever it is, that they are putting in. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the House can allow me to just draw a reference. The moment the Ministry of Gender was able to create a proper framework for ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) through the Anti-FGM board, the international donors had faith, trust and belief that now finally through this framework, they could channel their money to end FGM. Some of us who have had experience and are in the field of gender mainstreaming and gender-related programmes will tell you sometimes even by the pronunciations of politicians or leaders or nominees, the budgets that were being proposed by donors, international community or partners of the Government are suddenly withdrawn."
