    "content": "It is for this reason that the courts defined the parameters of what is the acceptable threshold of public participation. In a number of cases, during my time as the Leader of the Majority Party, the courts offered guidance. Allow me to highlight two: they said that public participation is not a cosmetic process. Public participation needs to be meaningful and not perfunctory. Public participation ought to be real and not an illusion. Public participation needs to be qualitative and not quantitative. We must, therefore, be very careful, as a House, not to land in the same ditch that the county assembly of Tana River, in amending this Bill, fell into."
