"content": "Nairobi has 17 Members. In fact, last week as we were talking with the Cabinet Secretary concerned, we had not even seen the Bill. We had to interact with him. We were wondering how he did public participation. Do you know how he went around it? He said: “This animal called public participation is unruly.” I am sure he must have sat down with my very good friends in the business community in Nairobi. I am sure he must have consulted a few people from the Dagoretti Slaughter House to enrich the Bill. How I wish Members of Parliament of Nairobi County, Murang’a County and Kiambu County, where my Hon. Member comes from were consulted with some depth about how these things will happen. The Member for Kikuyu is very cheerful here, but I am sure this Bill, from what I have heard and seen it propose, will write off some of his constituents who are very good at matatu business. They will be out of business the next day and also the other people who vote for him. To what extent have these people been involved? The question of public participation is an important issue."
