However, to say that for Kenyans, before they presented a document, to have conducted public participation, any ordinary Kenyan can exercise their sovereignty in Article one and propose a popular initiative. Who will fund them to conduct participation? Once they have drafted a Bill or given a general suggestion to IEBC, then once it has been published, are the ones mandated. I think we are saying the same thing. It is about before it is published."}
