• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My Chair worked under President Mwai Kibaki, he is one of the best Presidents Kenya has ever had. We are enacting this Bill to make the matter of fundraising under control. We are in a situation where this good facility is now being exposed to possible abuses. This is what we have controlled. So, may it go outside there that we are not prohibiting public fundraising but we are putting control so that people contribute to meaningful causes not those which are not genuine or those exploitative or opportunistic ones. The control will still ... view

How do we have that power in Nairobi with people who are not in the service called a Commission? view
