    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was indicating that earlier in the morning, I had presented a Report of Public Participation on the Proposed Removal from Office by Impeachment of His Excellency, Rigathi Gachagua, EGH, the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya. This is following the Notice of a Special Motion by Hon. Mwengi Mutuse and in line with Article 118 of the Constitution. Consequently, the House Business Committee approved a public participation programme across all 290 constituencies, and I present on behalf of the House Business Committee. I will speak to the issue of the legal framework of public participation, and Article 102 of the Constitution provides for the participation of the people as one of the National Values and Principles of Governance. Again, Article 118 of the Constitution requires Parliament to ensure public access and participation of the people in its affairs. I will not go to the details, and we can read it for ourselves because of time. I wish to note that in quasi-judicial proceeding like this, public participation is not really necessary even though the courts pronounced The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
