    "content": "They collect money from very many people, but only surrender a half or quarter of that money to the function and keep the rest. If they got Kshs10,000 from Sen. Murkomen, Kshs5,000 from Sen. Wetangula and many others, then we expect them to announce that they received money from so-and-so. We expect them to specify the source of the money they contribute in harambees. Therefore, that bit of theft which can be covered by them by not declaring their sources is checked. Secondly, this will be a lot of protection to the Members of Parliament and Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs). Everybody now knows what the Senators and MCAs earn because our salaries are in the public domain. We will be able to total during the course of the month and see how much a Senator has contributed and then the taxman will follow to find out whether the Senator has hidden sources of wealth, which we need for building roads and schools in this country. I think that will increase transparency and accountability in the use of resources in this country. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment."
