"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Bill. Kenyans do fundraise not for fun; they fundraise for a purpose. Nobody likes to fundraise because it is not a simple task. It is a hard task which is also challenging. However, people opt for it because they need to do that. We are coming up with such a Bill to suppress Kenyans who are already suppressed in many ways. If we continue to suppress them by asking them not to fundraise to cater for their needs, we will not be fair to Kenyans. As legislators, we need to think twice before passing this Bill. Fundraising is not a sin. It is being done by everybody worldwide. Even politicians, including in America, do fundraising. I know this is one way the Government wants to suppress especially politicians not to do fundraisings because they have enough money for their campaigns and everything. So, they want to suppress others who wish to fundraise for their politics. If you want to punish one person, you should not punish the whole country or everybody. You should come out clearly and do what you think you want to do, but not punish poor Kenyans who fundraise for a good purpose. I wonder how many Kenyans have access to the Cabinet Secretary who will go and get permits for burials. I can assure you there will be queues and bodies rotting in mortuaries because they have no permits to fundraise before taking bodies for burial. I am a Muslim, and so we burry our dead within 24 hours. However, Christians have to fundraise in order to transport bodies to areas they come from for burial. You can imagine 14 days to apply for the permit and another 10 days for one to think about it. That is already a month. The body will be rotting in the mortuary and the bill will be piling. That is another way of punishing Kenyans. On the cancellation bit, you might get a permit, do all the preparations and spend quite an amount of money but somebody just decides to cancel the permit. Once a permit is cancelled, you have to stop everything, including fundraising. Are we being fair to Kenyans by passing this Bill? I do not have much but just to reiterate that the Government should stop suppressing Kenyans because we have suppressed them enough. All these come back to us as legislatures, who are here to bring and pass Bills. That is why most of the time, as a person, I do not pass Bills. I do not even contribute because I know most of the Bills that we pass here suppress Kenyans and this is one of them. With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I oppose this Bill. I hope it is not going to be passed."
