    "content": "s (Nairobi CWR, ODM): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We just talked about public participation. At the same time we are looking forward to the Directorate publishing the information on their websites. If we do not conduct public participation and we just publish the information on the websites, how many Kenyans have access to websites? How many Kenyans will actually get to know about what has been published on the websites? The Government spends a lot of money on media coverage. We should also have public participation because these are big projects. Look at the Expressway under construction on Mombasa Road. Did we have public participation on that project? The Expressway will probably cost so much more. Even though it is going to serve us, the Government is going to lose a lot of money in terms of what Kenyans will be paying. The money will not be recouped quickly. We should also look at the electronic media. When it is public participation of a certain value, why not also make sure that we have it broadcast on radio and television so that Kenyans at large can be informed and be able to make decisions? Using websites is actually not doing justice to this country. Many things happen and no one gets to know about them."
