    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Statement was supposed to have coincided with the reading of the Budget, but I will still go ahead with it, because we are still going to push for zero-rating of these products. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to request a Statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget regarding the issue of zero-rating of duty and VAT on locally manufactured menstrual hygiene products. In the Statement, I would like the Committee to explain- (1) The status of implementation of the Senate Resolution on zero-rating of duty and exemption from VAT for locally manufactured sanitary towels which was made on 22nd November, 2018. (2) State the plans being put in place to ensure zero rating of local production of sanitary pads and tampons in the 2019/2020 national and county budgets and in future. (3) Outline long-term measures and pre-conditions by all counties and national Government to create non-discriminatory tax laws and to pursue gender-based budgeting generally going forward."
