    "content": "How do you foster great philanthropy when everybody in this country knows that the only people who can come up with money are politicians? Are you not encouraging corruption then? Are you not encouraging an issue where you are elected to office because of how much you can give instead of meritocracy? We need to focus on developing this nation. We need to come up with policies that will ensure that we narrow this gap between the rich and the poor; those who have and those who have none. We made progress by introducing a new Constitution. We now have counties. We now have to change the way we make legislation. I long for the time that we will be sitting here and talking about the residents of Tana River County who have decided that every child in that county will go to school for free. That the money they are taxed will be directed there. However, if we are regulating fundraising and then in the same law, say you are excluding family fundraising activities--- I beseech all of us to move away from this kind of legislation. We are over- legislating."
