    "content": "As I support this, indeed, I know it will help those who call for harambees and end up incurring expenses. Somebody may call for a harambee where they need to collect Kshs50,000 and yet they cook food worth Kshs60,000. At the end of the day, they end up with Kshs20,000. You will then start wondering how the harambee has helped the community or the person who was in need. I recommend that if we have this as law, then it will protect the interests of people with genuine harambees. That will help us to move on as a country. The genuine people who need support will also benefit a lot. It is high time that we, Members of the Parliament, recognised the importance of giving equal opportunity to the people we represent. Our people are forced to come up with harambees to support their needs. I wish churches were given a small percentage from the CDF for constructions. A church is like a hospital. However, at the end of the day, we depend on harambees to support churches. If churches do not have good facilities then a person seeking to have spiritual healing cannot be helped. You cannot have faith while inside a church building that is leaking and one which has a lot of dust. To reduce harambees that are unnecessary, we need to know what groups have been left behind without any support of Government and how we can help them. With those remarks, I support."
