    "content": " Hon. Speaker, on the matter that Hon. Duale has raised, the most pertinent issue is the question of public participation. That is what he anchored his request to you on. That, you hinge your decision on it. This is not the first time. You remember during the National Aviation Bill, you ceased debate on that Bill principally because of the question of public participation. All you did was to ask the Committee to go back and ensure that it does proper public participation. What we are asking you is to, maybe, give the Committee an opportunity to go and conduct proper and actual public participation so that we do not run the risk of spending taxpayers’ time. We will be paid to sit here and debate that Bill in the Second Reading only to end up being trashed in court because of the issue of public participation. Therefore, Hon. Speaker, because my minute is over, I wish to state that it is only fair to Kenyans that you accord the Committee time to go back and carry out actual public participation. We can debate the other issues. I agree with Hon. (Dr.) Oundo."
