    "content": "Therefore, let us define public participation for committees. When they go out to meet people for public participation, what kind of facilitation do we need to afford so that the image of the Senate is not dented? On the Report by the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, the Chairman has left, but let it go on record. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I still insist that this House is the anchor for devolution. If we do not get it right here, then we will not get it right anywhere else. I would have wanted to hear in that report - and it is not too late; they can do it in the next report - about situations where the Committee suo moto, on their own Motion, reached out to county governments. When you talk about county governments you are talking about the county executives and the assemblies. The places to engage for the benefit of the Committee would be the Council of Governors (CoG). They should have unlocked more conversations with the CoG and the County Assemblies Forum (CAF) so that they understand what issues the assemblies and executives are going through and see how to intervene before we get to levels of impeachment and other instances that may not paint devolution in very good light."
