    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to reply. I would like to thank my colleagues Sen. Kasanga for seconding this Motion very eloquently and for giving further ideas as to what we need to do with it. I would also like to thank Sen. Seneta who has brought in a very important angle of mental and psychological torture of our girls especially as they go through their menstrual cycle every month especially if they cannot access good quality and safe pads. She also brought in an angle which I had not thought about but which is important in the sense that in certain parts of this country, including where we come from,, sometimes because the cost of transporting these pads from the Port of Mombasa to the corners of Northern Kenya and the Maasai belt, people would rather bring in sugar and foodstuffs to sustain the families. The shops sometimes do not even have the sanitary pads because the cost of transportation is way too high. She is right, sometimes you go there and do not get any sanitary pads. So I take note of all the things that my colleagues have said. Sen. Kihika, thank you, for pointing that out. All three Senators have said that this should be converted into a Bill. I will make sure that we consider that proposal because we need to make sure that we have substantive legislation that will ensure that our country takes this issue very seriously and executes it appropriately."
