    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, on behalf of Sen. Kagwe, I beg to move:- 48.A A person who makes a contribution THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting to a fundraising appeal shall – the following new clause immediately (a) specify the source of the contribution; after clause 48 – Declaration of source of and contribution. (b) declare such contribution in the income tax returns submitted by such person pursuant to the Income Tax Act. The reason this clause is important is to make sure that people who contribute money for genuine causes do so honestly, transparently and in line with Chapter 6 of the Constitution which deals with Integrity. If you are making contribution from your own sources, then you declare it income tax. It can also be tax deductable so that what you give can be recognized by the State as philanthropy. However, at the moment, people harass others to collect a lot of money that is even more than their monthly income and contribute to harambees and then they are glorified. But in the meantime, other people have suffered and corruption continues. I think that it is a very transparent part of the law which will make Chapter 6 of the Constitution be effectively realized in law."
