    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Chairman, the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries where I sit. I asked to comment on this issue because it is true that Article 118 of the Constitution requires that Committees of Parliament conduct public participation in the process of handling Bills and legislation. The requirement there is directed to Parliament that those committees shall be facilitated to undertake public participation. As a House, we need to define that facilitation properly. This is because, in the process of dealing with one of those Bills, that Committee almost landed in some trouble. We went to a place in my county. Since the people of Kitui County love their Senator, when they heard that we were coming for public participation on The Mung Beans Bill, which they grow in large numbers, a public participation that we expected would have a maximum of 100 people ended up with more than 1200 people."
