    "content": "Sen. Eddy Oketch said that there is an existing piece of legislation, that is Section 18 of the Basic Education Act. I want to clarify that my Bill comes in to expand on Section 18 of the Basic Education Act just stipulates that Government should provide sanitary towels. It does not give the frequency, quality, authorities or monitoring and evaluation. A lot of things lack in that amendment and those are the grey areas where all the shenanigans have been happening. So, my Bill comes in to cure that. This Bill will ensure that there is a proper legal framework so that no Government will give an excuse as to why they are not providing free sanitary towels to all schoolgirls. We are also adding tertiary institutions because Section 18 that Sen. Eddy Oketch was relying on only provides for primary schools. We have also added women who are in prison facilities in this country. We want a stand-alone Act because of the substantial matter that is being added. This Act will cover all things in terms of the provision of free sanitary towels."
