    "content": " Hon. Senators, as you may have noted, the Senate Majority Leader has laid on the Table of the Senate, Sessional Paper No.3 of 2023, on the Kenya Policy on Public Participation. The document, if adopted, will be the anchor framework for public participation in Kenya. This is the first time in the 13th Parliament that the Senate will consider a Sessional Paper. Further, noting the constitutional principle on public participation, proposed legislative interventions that have been made on this matter in the 11th and 12th Parliaments, and the central role of public participation in public affairs, I direct that the Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2023, on the Kenya Policy on Public Participation be committed to the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights (JLAC), for consideration. The Committee will be required to scrutinize the Paper, undertake public participation on the Sessional Paper, and submit a report to the Senate within 30th days. The Senate is accordingly guided."
