    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I thank Sen. Kihika for coming up with this very important Bill whose objectives are to provide the right to reproductive healthcare, to set standards of reproductive health, to provide the right to make decisions regarding reproductive health and for connected purposes. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill is very important because it gives the obligations of the national Government. In Clause 4, the national Government shall - (a) put in place the necessary mechanism and infrastructure to facilitate access to the highest attainable standards. Madam Temporary Speaker, right now, there is a shortage of health facilities which help adolescents, or people who need the health facilities in their areas. The Government has to allocate more funds for the establishment of more health centers. Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 4 (h) says very clearly that: “The national Government has to carry out sensitization programmes on family planning methods and services.” When offering sensitization to the people who are involved, they must elaborate and give more information concerning the family planning methods and services. We have many side effects of family planning methods. For instance, they should clearly outline the side effects of Depo injection. When women are using these family planning methods, majority of the ladies over-bleed. They should train healthcare workers on how to use the family planning methods. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
