• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank hon. Nyokabi and my other colleagues who have raised issues. Indeed, those are very pertinent issues because many girls miss school when that time of the month comes. As a mother, I am also very sensitive on the issue. Hon. Nyokabi clearly stated that she has not seen any distribution of the sanitary towels in Nyeri County. As per the last communication from the Ministry, it was said that the sanitary towels were to be distributed once in a financial year. The Ministry also said that it is trying to ensure that ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: tabling the Report from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology on the districts that have benefitted in 2013/2014 and the ones that have had actual delivery.

• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Junet, on how to reach the constituency, as I said, the Country Director and the District Education Officers (DEOs) are the ones who are giving those instructions. Once we table the report on the schools per district that are benefiting, then hon. Members can follow up and actually inform us whether those sanitary towels have gotten into their constituencies. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Kipchoim also raised the issue of distribution and I think I have handled it. I think there were other initiatives like Inua Dada, Save our Souls (SOS) and other people who are coming up and helping with those sanitary towels. I think it is important for the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to co-ordinate all those partners so that we do not have the same schools benefiting and then, maybe, we can cater for a bigger number. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On hon. Dawood’s question, yes I have said we will table the list of all districts. Hon. Mary Wambui on the responsibility on how to use them, I have said yes we will involve the leaders and I will also request the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology that even when they launch those programs, they can invite hon. Members and especially the women who are in this House so that we can go and train those girls. We will be offering to do that. It is true that many of our girls even today do not know how to ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On hon. Dennitah Ghati, I have explained the criteria of the valuation and we will table the documents.
