Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s election pledge to provide sanitary pads for school girls may not be fulfilled in this year’s budget after Finance Minister Matia Kasaija said it would be weighed against other competing resource needs.
In reactions to Kenya’s budget, which was read on March 30 by Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich and allocated $5 million for sanitary towels, Mr Kasaija said priorities varied from one country to another.
