    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 28 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (g) – “(h) in the opinion of the National Committee or the relevant County Policing Authority, the purpose for which the public collection is to be conducted can be funded through existing national and devolved funds.” The import of this amendment is to avoid misuse of public collections. Indeed, we have very many devolved funds. We have the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), county governments’ funds and so many others. Just because a school or any other public facility is at loggerheads with an MP or a county government, they are not going to pick those kinds of funds and burden parents and other Members of the public to undertake a public collection where funds are available or have been misused and they resort to an unorthodox approach to fill up the lost funds. So, I beg my colleagues to accept my proposed amendment so that we insulate this public collection from things that can be done by other funds.
