    "content": "On the whole principle of public participation, we should have evidence that it has taken place on a fair and equal basis for everyone. We should not have public participation that is not public. Public participation should be open to all the people concerned. People should participate in an equal manner. The principle of equity should also be played here because when you place a public inquiry on an extreme end of a county, then people living on the other extreme end cannot access that forum where they can participate in this public endeavour. This law should, therefore, be very specific that everyone will be given equal opportunity to participate even if it is through the media or a questionnaire broadcast on a local radio station. There should be 90 per cent participation by the public and above. It will not be a sham like the way we have witnessed. You hear of public participation and people are not aware about it or when people go there, they are not prepared because the questionnaire has not been set. We need to get interested in these details because those are the ones that will guarantee participation of the public."
