    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Taking over from where the Senator of Kisii has left, I want to remind colleagues that this is our baby. When we rose to respond to the disaster of the Gen Zs, one of the things that we resolved upon in this House in that great debate that we had never seen before, was to address the displeasure of the young people on how we spend all our time showing off opulence, choppers and vehicles that cost over Kshs51 million. The youths because they are better educated than what our generation was at their time, they are able to relate your income with what you contribute in harambee. So, we said let us regulate this. I want to urge colleagues, let us read this Bill. The intention of this Bill is not to abolish harambees. The intention is to sanitize, make it decent and make sure that we do not hide in harambees to practice corruption. How can you accept the fact that you are taking your ill-gotten money to a funeral of a mass accident like the one we had in Ikolomani at Iguhu, River Lukose. You take those millions and yet the reason the accident took place is the bad state of the roads. If we had a dual carriage from Nairobi to Kakamega, Busia and Uganda, the accidents that take place on these roads would be reduced by over 80 per cent. Sen. Mungatana, thank you very much for your passion, but the point is do not give us money which you have stolen, which would have fixed the roads and those bad roads have caused us to die. Do not bring us that money. Allow the police to come after you, so that you can be brought to book."
