    "content": "of helping this child to be educated. However, the next thing you know the man has bought a matatu in the estate or in the village and he is running around with it. You wonder whether the money you contributed assisted this child. You contribute money to take a child to Maseno University and the next thing you know, the child is at some local polytechinic. In our society and our socialization, it would be embarrassing to go and ask somebody whether the money that you contributed went towards the village polytechnic education. We really need to regulate harambees. Of course, we know harambees are good because they help in promoting our health and education. We even know that we, as leaders, both in this House and outside, in one weekend, you can have at least 10 harambees. Are you able to hack it and go to all these harambees? How do you follow up on the contributions that you have made towards college and hospital bills? I have a personal experience where young people come to me and they want me to contribute towards a funeral, yet there is no funeral. They know very well that you, as a leader, you probably, do not have the time to go and verify that or you have another fundraising to go to. If we regulate these harambees, the person being approached to contribute knows that the harambee was geared toward the right thing and the money contributed has done the right thing that was contributed to. You as the person contributing know and question whether the harambee worked the way it was supposed to be and whether it is the right thing to do. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
