Remember that people have gone to court to challenge our Bills and they have succeeded by saying that there was no sufficient public participation. We must address the issues that were raised by members of the public so that this Parliament can be known to have conducted public participation sessions. Our governors were represented by the Governor of Nyandarua, Hon. Kimemia and the Governor of the great people of Busia, Hon. Ojaamong and there were three key issues that were outstanding in their presentation: One, in a number of clauses, they are seeking consultations amongst the national Government and county governments. Two, they argue that there is no need to have KeRRA and KURA, that these bodies should be disbanded and the money taken to the counties. They propose enhancement of revenue allocation to the counties from 15 to 53 per cent. Three, they also propose that road Class H be taken to KURA, and road Class D from KeRRA to the counties. Hon. Members will note our full observations later on. At this stage, our observation, particularly on public participation, is that the word “consultation” has been misused.
