    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to Second the Procedural Motion on reduction of the publication period for the Finance Bill, 2024. In this country, we have always had challenges with important Bills like the Finance Bill. It is never given adequate time to be subjected to public participation. On account that the Committee Chairman is seeking to reduce the publication period to provide for adequate time for public participation, I support. However, as I support, I urge the Committee and the Members who will be sitting in the Committee that public participation should not be an exercise in futility or vanity. The views of the people of Kenya must be considered when preparing the final report. If that does not happen, the process of public participation will become a fuss. With those few remarks, I support the Motion on reduction of the publication period for the Finance Bill, 2024."
