    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the amendment. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, given the earlier sentiments expressed by the distinguished Senator for Laikipia, it is only fair that we exclude him from the Committee, although the reasons that he gave for not wanting to serve were far from convincing. But we must respect his views, so that we can move forward. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the additional names are also born out of consultations, to see that we have a balance from both sides of the House, which I think we do achieve by the inclusion of the new names. I have no doubt that the gender parity is also equally achieved and that the additional Members to the Committee will add value in helping to generate and engineer a new law that can help regulate harambees. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it must be made very clear, once again, that Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o’s Motion does not in any way intend to abolish harambees. Everybody who has spoken here, has talked about the many good things that harambee has contributed in the development of our country. Equally, Members have spoken about the abuses that harambees have been subjected to. It is those abuses that this august House wishes to bring into focus, a legal framework, regulation and also, like we did say earlier, in line with devolution, so that resources going to the ground can supplement some of the pressures that have been put on those who donate.
