Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to second. The issue of sanitary towels has been very emotive and the Ministry of Education gave it to the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender three years ago. Distribution of sanitary towels has been wanting. The Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender gave it back to the Ministry of Education knowing very well it had distribution network. It should go on record that this year sanitary towels were not supplied to schools because of procurement issues in the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender.

Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the proposed allocation under the programme in respect of the Recurrent Estimates, Kshs22,530,102,734, be deleted and substituted thereof with the figure, Kshs22,030,102,734. I am proposing that because when we had no space in public universities, the Government asked private universities to admit students. They took in 16,000 students and the Government gave capitation of Kshs2 billion. Currently, the student population in private universities stands at 40,000. In respect of the increased population, the capitation for students is not enough. The capitation for technical education had been allocated Kshs5 billion. In this case, if ...
