    "content": "Secondly, I take you to Article 118 of the Constitution. Today, we are debating the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, a Bill that seeks to amend the Political Parties Act. The proposed amendments have very serious ramifications on Kenyans because almost all Kenyans are members of political parties. Under Article 118, this House is required to conduct extensive and conclusive public participation. Unfortunately, this was not done regarding this Bill. So, what we have is an advertisement in the newspaper calling for written memorandum. First and foremost and extremely important, in my view, we should have conducted what would be, in the eyes of this House, adequate public participation. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
