    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before that interruption, I was joining you and other Senators in wishing other Senators a happy and very successful 2022. I want to agree with the sentiments that have been expressed by the Minority Leader, Sen. Orengo, and also the point that was raised by the Senator for Elgeyo- Marakwet County, Sen. Murkomen. We should show Kenyans that we respect the supremacy of the Constitution and that we will give Kenyans a humble opportunity to engage with the Senate in qualitative and meaningful public participation. I want to assure the Senate that the Committee that I chair, and which has proudly other senior counsel and other able Members, will give the people of Kenya opportunity to present their views before my Committee before we table our report before the House. We must learn from jurisprudence that has come from our courts of law and everyone knows that if you go through a legislative process that does not accord Kenyans an opportunity to have a meaningful public participation, then you are setting such a law for failure."
