Govt urged to disburse funds allocated towards sanitary wear

BY CATHERINE MUCHIRI
GOVERNMENT has not disbursed $1,3 billion that it allocated towards purchase of sanitary wear for girls in the 2022 national budget.

Finance ministry chief director of communications and advocacy Clive Mphambela yesterday confirmed that the funds had not yet been disbursed, adding that the process was underway.

“Out of the resources relocated for gender specific expenditures in 2022, indeed 55% was set aside for sanitary wear for schools,” Mphambela said.
