    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank Members of the Ad Hoc Committee on Legislation on Harambees led by the able Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for coming up with this Bill. In the public domain, there seems to be some apprehension that the Senate is seeking to abolish harambees. After reading this Bill properly, I am convinced that is not the intention of the Bill to do so. If you look at the manner in which this Bill has been reported in the media and the information that has flown to people who do not have the privilege of sitting in this House, there is a perception that the Senate wants to ban harambees because politicians do not want to give out what they earn to public causes. A proper reading of this Bill indicates that the Bill seeks to replace the Public Collections Act which is obsolete. When you read it, you will wonder why it should still be holding in this time and age. When you politicise this Bill, you will find people saying that Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o and Sen. Moses Kajwang and others by extension in this House will be fighting some people who go around flying in choppers and doing development modules that are hinged on harambees. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
