    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this case, public participation is minimal. You are invited to the signing ceremony. If you call people after the agreement has been signed to tell them what you have done, that is not public participation. Public participation has to come before the act and inform people before the decision is made. So, Governors have to be warned that most of those agreements are going to be declared illegal, null and void, and especially also because they are not following the Public Private Partnerships Act. The bottom of this case, in my view, is also applicable to other cases. What we have is a political struggle for supremacy between the Governors, Speakers and Members of the County Assemblies. We are going to undermine devolution in Kenya and retard development in our counties, so long as those struggles are not managed. I really appreciate what our Chairman has said; that the Senator for Kericho County should play his role in bringing these people together, so that we can save the welfare of that county. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
