    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I appreciate. I would like to add my voice to the debate on the Bill before the House. This closes a lacuna in our education laws. Education is important. It is more important as far as the girl-child is concerned, especially in Kenya and Africa in general. As we all know, the girl-child is the backbone of any community. As they say, if you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a girl, you educate a community and a country. The issue of sanitary towels is very crucial, especially in the rural areas where they are not accessible. We need to ensure that girls do not miss classes. The more a child miss classes, the more she lags behind and with time, she falls prey to predators. I believe we should give girls education, and empower them by ensuring that nothing stops them from attending school. We have enough money to take care of our children. We lose a lot of money through corruption and other ways. That money should assist the girl-child."
