    "content": "like three or four times for that project each year, but we see nothing. What does this mean? We need not only regulate, but make clear the cases that may require support so that needy and deserving cases are helped and resources going to them are not usurped. We also need to have an accountability system, so that when we fundraise to do something it is actually done. We did a huge fundraising a short while back, where we were doing Dr. Ida Odinga Library Research and Resource Centre at Ogande Girls High School which is her former school. I want to thank the people who contributed money. We got over Ksh176 million in a very short span of time, some 30 minutes. What would happen to the spirit of Harambee and fundraising if the people who contributed to a cause like this were to see nothing put in place? It disheartens people. If we do not have those accountability measures, we will reach a situation in this country where, even for good causes, we will invite people and there will be no system. We want a system where we are not just helping through Harambees . But we can also give incentives to the people who are giving. So that if you are genuinely giving, you can be exempted from particular taxes. This is the case in the United States of America (USA) and developed nations. People can marshal resources, but they are defined, there are incentives and accountability. We have a situation in the country where we do not know where people are getting money to do"
