    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Harambee concept is contained in our Coat of Arms. Just above your head, we have our Coat of Arms. Below it, it is written “ Harambee ”. Even on the Coat of Arms behind hon. Members’ seats, it is written “ Harambee ”. It is a concept which was conceptualised by our forefathers – previous leaders like Tom Mboya and others. It is an African socialist spirit of assisting one another. I know that a committee which was chaired by hon. Koigi wa Wamwere collected views across the country and recommended that Harambee should be stopped. However, we must draw a line between soliciting for money and donating money. In our case, we donate. We do not solicit. So, let the EACC look for those people who solicit. As Members of Parliament, we donate to funeral fundraisers to bury our brothers and sisters who have left us, and pay medical bills as well as contribute towards church building. The Harambee spirit is too African to be interfered with. We want that spirit to continue because we are Africans. We are not Europeans. Thank you."
