    "content": "The Committee was required to undertake public participation on the Bill by inviting submissions on the memoranda, holding public hearings, consulting relevant stakeholders in the sector, and consulting experts on technical subjects. I wish to report that in compliance with Article 118(b) of the Constitution and Standing Order 127(3), the Clerk of the National Assembly placed an advertisement in print media on Monday, 12th June 2023 inviting the public to submit memoranda on the Bill. By the close of the submission deadline, the Committee had received six memoranda from the following institutions: 1. State Department for ASALs and Regional Development. 2. Six Regional Development Authorities. 3. Kenya Law Reform Commission. 4. Council of Governors. 5. National Gender and Equality Commission. 6. Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC). In addition, the Committee met with key stakeholders to submit views on the Bill on 25th and 26th August 2023. While the Committee was undertaking public participation on the Bill, the IGRTC submitted that there was a multi-agency technical team on Regional Development Authorities comprising the six Regional Development Authorities, county governments, the Council of Governors, the Executive Office of the President, and the Kenya Law Reform Commission that recommended, among other things, to align all RDA Acts with the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, which this Bill is preparing to address. Taking into consideration the submissions by the IGRTC, the Committee resolved to further engage it on the contents of the report by the multi-agency technical team and to also undertake further public hearings on the Bill in Kilifi, Tana River, Kisumu, Elgeyo Marakwet and Isiolo counties to collate the views of the public.
