    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Actually, what you may not realize is that this is a great day in this country. This principle and practice of Harambee, the history goes back to some old mzee known as Omollo Willo, Omollo Harambee which was taken up by Mzee Kenyatta and made a very great movement in this country but has remained unregulated, has been abused, and people have not even accounted for the money raised in many instances. I support that this Bill be now read a Third Time and passed. That means it will now be regulated, the amount of collections will be known, for what reasons it is being done, how it has been applied and can be audited. That is a great step forward. I may add, as I end, that it is one of the Bills, when it becomes an Act of Parliament and a law, will need a lot of work for its implementation considering the amount of details, the structural arrangements and the organization that will go into it, including even regulating the social media so that that collection is also brought in. We will have to find a way of dealing with M-PESA. So, I appeal to the Committee on Implementation of this House to follow up and get to this law, when it is assented to, implemented."
