"content": "Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda. Napinga vikali Mswada huu. Kipengele cha 13 (1) na (2) kinasema kwamba mtu yeyote anayefanya kazi katika ofisi ya umma haruhusiwi kujihusisha kamwe na shughuli za harambee. Vile vile, mtu yeyote anayewania kugombea kiti chochote miaka mitatu kabla ya uchaguzi mkuu haruhusiwi kufanya harambee. Ni kinaya kwa sababu shughuli yote ya uongozi ni kuweza kusaidia jamii yako. Mtu asikueleze eti kwa sababu kuna hundi kutoka National Government- Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), ama gavana atakuwa na fedha kutokana na Mswada ambao tumepitisha leo, nafikiri takriban milioni 387--- Naipongeza Kamati ya Mediation kwa kufanya vile. Haimaanishi kuwa ukipewa pesa hizo na una jukumu la kutoa bursary, basi huwezi kwenda kwenye mfuko wako kibinafsi ili kusaidia jamii yako. Nafikiri huo si uongozi halisi. Sisi wapwani tunasema kuwa kuna kutoa sadaka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Ukitoa, haimaanishi wewe ni tajiri. Kuna msemo unaosema; kutoa ni moyo wala si utajiri. Ukichanga, unakuwa umeunda sadaka yako kwa Mwenyezi Mungu kwa sababu kuna maisha ya dunia na ahera. Sioni haja ya kuweka sheria kumdhibiti kiongozi kama vile Sen. Mungatana ambaye yuko tayari kusaidia watu wa Tana River. Sisemi kuwa yeye ni tajiri. Mimi nimeteuliwa na niko tayari kusaidia watu wa Kwale katika michango, iwe ni harambee kuhusu mambo ya afya au kujenga kanisa. Wikendi hii, nitaenda Lunga Lunga Catholic Church kufanya mchango ambao wamenialika kwa sababu mimi ni mkristo mkatoliki na nina imani. Bibilia inasema kwamba, tukija pamoja, Yesu yu ndani yetu na kwamba, ni jukumu langu kama kiongozi kujenga hekalu la Mwenyezi Mungu. Vile vile, nimealikwa katika harambee Guro kujenga kituo cha afya, ambayo siyo jukumu langu. Kwa sababu mimi ni kiongozi, siwezi sema kuwa siwezi ingawaje sina fedha ya kufanya huo mchango. Lakini kuna marafiki ambao wameenda shule, ni wafanyi biashara, Mwenyezi Mungu amewabariki na wapo na nia ya kuregesha mkono katika jamii zao. Bi. Spika wa Muda, sio sawa kuleta sheria ya kudhibiti mtu ambaye yuko tayari kutoa. Nimesema kutoa ni moyo wala sio utajiri. Napinga vikali Mswada huo. Shukrani na Mungu awabariki."

"content": "Essentially, this Bill seeks to curb or regulate fundraising. However, the Senate Majority Leader has been greatly misunderstood. I listened to the Senate Minority Whip describing the intent of this Bill as that of being able to overly deal with any kind of donations or charitable deeds, especially in terms of money. I do not think that is what the Senate Majority Leader seeks to cure here because I do not think that the idea of this Bill is to attack, for instance, the charitable or non- profit organizations that we have in the country. I think the Senate Majority Leader is seeking to cure problems that we have seen of public leaders using the platforms of fundraising as a way of basically capturing the people and insincerely taking control of public discourse. That is a fundamental problem. To that extent, the Senate Majority Leader is right, because Chapter 6, Article 73 of the Constitution, which is what I think is the crust of the problem that the Senate Majority Leader seeks to solve, talks about responsibility of leadership. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have seen lack of responsibility by leadership where the political leadership, to be specific, has been irresponsible on issues of fundraising in the sense that the amounts of money that we see going to fundraising, cannot be explained by any means possible by the political class. This is the reality that the public is getting tired of that kind of behaviour. Secondly, we are seeing a pseudo-control where, when a politician contributes in different platforms or institutions, they take control of that institution completely. This is a reality that we must face as a country. This is why the Senate Majority Leader has come with this particular Bill. That is the reason I am taking you back to Article 73, under Chapter 6 of the Constitution, that talks about responsibility of leadership. It says – “(1) Authority assigned to a state officer, (a) is a public trust to be exercised in a manner that- (i) is consistent with the purposes and objects of this Constitution; (ii) demonstrates respect for the people; (iii) brings honour to the nation and dignity to the office; and (iv) promotes public confidence in the integrity of the office Madam Temporary Speaker, people have lost trust in public officers, particularly led by politicians. Politicians who will do harambees in different places have also lost respect for the people. In addition, the manner in which the acts of harambees are being exercised do not bring honour to the nation, integrity and dignity to the offices that we have. Madam, Speaker, what does this mean? If you read further that Article, sub-article (b), says- “Authority assigned to a state officer- (b) vests in the state officer the responsibility to serve the people, rather than the power to rule over them.” The political class are ruling over our people because of these harambee. They are not serving our people. So, this is a serious conversation that the Senate Majority Leader has brought in the House that must be addressed.
