    "content": "The Bill is based on the need to reduce the culture of dependency that harambees have inculcated in the society, extending even essentially private affairs to the larger public. As you known, harambees as currently known have been misused. Members of Parliament are even invited to pre-wedding harambees. This Bill seeks to create a framework within which some of those fundraising appeals or harambees are regulated, so that the ones for private use are outlawed and those for public use are licensed. Many of those Members of Parliament, if they were listening, find that fundraising cards contain their names even without their consent. This Bill seeks to outlaw that practice. For example, at times, I find my name appearing on so many fundraising cards without my knowledge and I am told I failed to attend and yet, I was not informed. I always ask: How was I informed? This Bill seeks to outlaw such kinds of practices by creating a mechanism in which the person seeking to conduct a fundraising gets a licence at the county level. If you want to conduct a fundraising or harambee, you must apply for a licence and you must contact all those persons you want to participate in the fundraising.
