    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The Government started providing sanitary towels on 14th May, 2012. An amount of Kshs240 million was set aside in the financial year 2011/2012 for the purchase of the sanitary towels in schools across the country. The Ministry of Education identified 443,858 needy girls in 4,114 public primary schools drawn from 82 out of 287 districts in the country as the beneficiaries of the towels. The districts were identified using criteria which took into account the national poverty index, gender parity index, ASAL/slum characteristics and needy areas identified and based on the reports from the then Provincial Directors of Education. In the financial year 2012/2013 the Government allocated Kshs300 million for the programme and the Ministry is in the process of ensuring that distribution continues."
