    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Public Fundraising Appeals Bill (National Assembly Bill No.66 of 2019). It is talking about transparency and accountability. We need to know the use of the money that is given for various fundraisers. We need to know that the money is used in the right way and there is no misuse. This Bill talks about investigations of complaints and misuse that will be carried out by those in charge of the fundraiser. The other issue is giving people sufficient time before they fundraise, so that somebody can organise him or herself, so that you are not called to a Harambee just now and you are told that in one hour you are to contribute. People have to be given sufficient time. The Bill also talks about tax incentives to those who keep their money. In other countries like the United States of America (USA), when you contribute towards a course, you are exempted from paying a certain amount of tax. So, if this is introduced, this country will develop more and more because people will give towards the courses. Tithes and offerings are exempted from this Bill. The Bible tells us that it is blessed to give than to receive. We have to continue giving our The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
