    "content": "conduct of the media houses while in the precincts of Parliament. This is in addition to the amendments on matters related to public participation, where the Committee has proposed expansion of its mandate to include liaising with the county assemblies on the establishment of standards and best practices in order to enhance effective public participation in legislation. The Committee undertook a study visit to the United States of America (USA) in October, 2015 to apprise itself on the procedures relating to joint broadcasting of parliamentary proceedings and public participation. The report on the visit has been adopted and will soon be tabled in this House. Finally, the Committee is in the process of developing a framework on public participation. To achieve this, the Committee is working closely with the Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Training (CPST), the Parliamentary Broadcasting Unit (PBU) and the Parliamentary Outreach Committee (POC) with the view of technical support to achieve this target by the end of this financial year. This is one of the major mandates of the Committee that as Committee Members and as the Vice-Chair of the Committee, we have taken very seriously to make sure that we develop a framework for public participation for both Houses to be used when creating laws. I also want to bring to your attention a very important issue that we are facing as a Committee."
