    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. This is one proposal that I support in its entirety. I am particularly appreciative of Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o on this particular regard because he is never intimidated. If you go to a fundraising with him, he will give what he has. That speaks volumes. However, the tendency in this country now is that a fundraising becomes like a major political exhibition or show business. That kind of thing should be taken to Las Vegas where Mayweather can do better. One of the things that the NARC Government taught and brought to this nation is that tax money can actually do a lot. If people pay taxes, we can have a trillion shillings budget. In the earlier days, for tax revenue to hit Kshs300 billion was a major thing. However, we are now having budgets of trillion shillings. At this particular point in time, I think that those who are willing to contribute should declare their sources. That is happening in banks also. You cannot withdraw more than Kshs1million. If you deposit more that the said amount, banks also have to give account of such movements of money, especially now that we are fighting corruption and terrorism. You know what is good for the goose is good for the gander. It may be good for the banking sector. But harambees can also be a way in which people can do a lot of terrible stuff to the country. I fully support this amendment. I hope that when we put it to the vote, it shall be adopted."
