Eddie Ndichu goes gaga over his wife Janet Mbugua after President Uhuru signs much awaited Bill into law

Janet Mbugua’s efforts have finally yielded fruits after three years, President Uhuru Kenyatta has given his assent to the Bill she was dying to see become law.

Janet Mbugua through his initiative Inua Dada has traversed the country distributing free sanitary pads to girls so that they could not miss school when they are in that time of the month. Janet’s vision was to see all girls in Kenya attend school without any disruption brought about by their menses.

The former Citizen TV anchor advocated for the government to provide free sanitary pads to girls who couldn’t access them.

And on Wednesday President Uhuru Kenyatta signed the Basic Education Amendment Act into law, meaning all school-going girls will receive free sanitary pads from the government.

The Act was earlier amended by parliament to make it mandatory for the government to supply schoolgirls with the towels.

The law places the responsibility of providing free, sufficient and quality sanitary towels on the government in order to reduce the number of girls missing school during their menstrual cycle.

Janet Mbugua’s husband Eddie Ndichu was quick to pat his wife on the back after the president gave his assent to the Bill.

“After 3 years of advocacy and lobbying I am only too proud of @officialjanetmbugua @inuadada now onto execution…” Wrote Eddy Ndichu.
