    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The issue of public participation is a very important issue in this country. We laud the Supreme Court for the interpretation and the guidance it has given to the House and to Kenyans as regards what exactly is public participation, and to what extent should this House consider views that are collected from the public during public participation. Indeed, it is true that many people think that when we go for public participation, we should be collecting views and votes from the public so that if the public votes against whatever it is we are proposing, then it fails. Nothing is far from the truth because the fact remains public participation is purely to ensure that our public is well-informed as regards the legislative proposals we have here or whatever action Parliament is taking so that the public does not plead ignorance at any time.
