    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, we just came from recess yesterday, but it seems we should have extended it. But we will go back on recess very soon for a very long time. I was talking about the issue of involving the public in policy making. This is very good and it has been legislated upon. I welcome that move. I am rushing because of time. Clause 13 is on the issue of how people can make complaints and petitions. I just want to appreciate that it has put some timelines. It should be within three months so that we do not have unresolved complaints for a very long time. There is transparency in terms of register displaying. However, there is a concern on Clauses 14 and 15. We should also try to do something about those complaints so that we avoid politically motivated complaints on public officers, witch-hunting, frivolous petitions and maligning of peoples’ names. Then under Clause 15, I really support the issue of compliments, commendations and honours. That will motivate public servants. There should be competition in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. A reward should be given. Clause 16 is on reporting progress. There is (c) and (d) where you report challenges faced in trying to promote the values. It may even be the issue of the gender rule or that of a third for youths and the disabled. Those challenges should be reported. In the general provisions - and that is my last comment- every service commission needs to - and I want the Chairman of the Committee to take that into account--- All the regulations that the commissions will make in terms of employment must be tabled on this Floor – even those of the county governments and assemblies - for approval.
