"content": "But their names are put in the cards. But, let us look at the plight of Kenyans; that poor Kenyan in the rural area whose child has died and in that confusion calls neighbours to raise funds. When someone is mourning that he or she has lost a wife, husband, child or close relative the one they loved most, do we subject them to go and look for a committee somewhere to go and approve that harambee ? We will waste time and we will cause more suffering to the bereaved. That is one of the reasons I oppose this Bill. I want us to maintain the status quo whereby it is free and easy to summon people who are near you to tell them what has happened and they congregate to help their friend. If we support this Bill, it would take a lot of time. We have seen it with the local administration. Whenever you go for an approval of something either to a local chief, you will find that they are not available and you do not want to break the law. What are we subjecting poor Kenyans to?"
