    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Petition by the Deputy Speaker. It is about time that we tried to ensure that we set up certain regulations on what defines public participation. What worries me is that very often, you will hear people complain that there is no public participation, but if it is held and people give their views which are contrary to what is already defined, nothing is done after that. It is noted that so-and-so appeared and said some things. For us to make use and define the words ‘public participation,’ it behoves us to grade or put a system where when the citizens of this country appear for public participation, it is graded as to the percentage of those who approved the process and those who disapproved it. I would like to request that the Committee that you will commit the Petition to should think beyond the norms of interrogating the facts, merits and demerits of the Petition. It should also try to advise this House on how we can have a recourse clause in terms of the Petition and the views of Kenyans. I support."
